I will admit that I am *almost* beaten into the ground in pure
frustration by the lengthy verbiage and misinterpretations of the
questions but ONE MORE TIME...(I know I know it's all my fault.)
Can wanadoo.fr publish an SPF record allowing the PC which is
currently assigned the host name:
ABordeaux-251-2-10-162.w82-125.abo.wanadoo.fr
to send mail claiming to be from:
johndoe(_at_)ABordeaux-251-2-10-162(_dot_)w82-125(_dot_)abo(_dot_)wanadoo(_dot_)fr
I say they can and likely will, but more importantly that spammers who
grab such a host as a zombie can use this to send all the mail they
want past any SPF.

Can't wanadoo.fr publish an SPF record allowing

Not "are they likely to", or "it wouldn't seem to be in their best
interest", but just: Can they or not?
They can not.
They can publish an SPF record allowing
ABordeaux-251-2-10-162.w82-125.abo.wanadoo.fr to send mails with
a sender domain of wanadoo.fr directly (and probably lots of
other domains, too). They cannot publich an SPF record allowing
ABordeaux-251-2-10-162.w82-125.abo.wanadoo.fr to send mails with a
sender domain of ietf.org or hjp.at.
