You can use these three examples right now, at least SPF
and PRA (the part of SenderID not already covered by SPF)
are "ready" (= in the RFC editor queue), you're not forced
to wait for a proper RFC number.

But please read and understand the caveats as published in
<http://www.ietf.org/IESG/APPEALS/?C=M&O=D>

The DKIM WG was chartered a few days ago, for more info see

Spam is not just an ICT problem it is a social problem.

Yes.  But there's definitely a design flaw in post-821 SMTP
as far as most SPF FAIL friends are concerned.  That's of
course highly controversial, many others claim that it's a
feature.  

That's where we enter the deep waters of financial interests.
Parts of the anti-spam industry might not like it if big
chunks of "the problem" are removed, because "the problem"
is their business concept.
