In other words SSP-MUST means "if you do SSP you MUST get it
right".  An example from the also voluntary SPF:  If the
receiver aborts SPF-evaluation for his own private reasons
(no TempError, let alone PermError) it's fine, but then this
receiver shouldn't add a dubious Received-SPF: NONE (or even
NEUTRAL) trace header field, because that would be a lie.
