Seems a lot of people forgot what SPF gives/does not give.

I'm well aware of SPF (and DKIM, and SenderID).  Whatever their
theoretical merits, I don't consider them worthy of serious operational
consideration, as spammers/phishers already have the ability to render
them moot whenever it pleases them to do so.  But regardless of that
debate, which is arguably off-topic here, I don't believe they should
be mentioned in a BCP about DNSBLs.

Agreed: SPF is out of scope for the document despite it being DNS-based, 
as is, for example, filtering based on the presence or absence of 
PTRs/rDNS.  It's so far out of scope that it's probably not worth the 
bits to declare it out of scope.
