Mike,

Actually, this is wrong. While the default modifier for a mechanism is '+', when no mechanism matches and there is no 'all' suffix, the default for a naked record is '?' or neutral. See section 4.7 of RFC4408. It is not a matter of having confidence when you publish, it is how email for the domain in question is used. As a general rule, asserting '-all' will result in the loss of some valid messages. Secondly, a pass result is not modified by any 'all' suffix either.
