OK, the people have spoken. SPF v1 is frozen, and filtering will be
possible before DATA, unlike certain alternatives now under
consideration by the major ISPs.
The discussion of envelope versus header processing is over.
SPF will also retain its current form. If XML compatibility is needed,
it will be accommodated using an xml= modifier.
The discussion of XML formatting is over.
I apologize for any unhappiness caused by these issues. I don't like
reexamining decisions like this, especially once the design has been
declared frozen. Now it has been refrozen.
You don't want to take ice cream out of the freezer and then put it back
in: do that too many times and it won't taste any good.
I hope that people understand that this decision means we'll alienate a
major stakeholder and we'll have to rely on ... everybody else.
"Everybody else" may be easier to convince of SPF's correctness, but
there are a lot more of them.
