I'd like to suggest that we NOT do that.  While v=spf1 is sub-optimal in 
many ways, I donalt think that there are big enough problems that itals 
worth breaking our installed base for.

I think Hector's post about SPF extensions was righton and the way to 
pursue that is through modifiers added to the existing syntax.  There 
are a 
lot of good ideas for this that have been discussed.  We need to work on 
them.

Uh...  do we want to see different "v=spf1 " versions?  One being able
to process a certain modifier, one not?


Certainly.  That's the whole point of a modifier.  It's to extend SPF 
without changing the basic SPF result for non-implementers.

What we don't want is to make changes that cause us to ask the entire 
installed base to upgrade.
