+1 from me too, except that we should just remove it from the draft
rather than deprecate it.

Part of the problem is that "softfail" and "hardfail" don't make
much intuitive sense.

For SPF (and Sender ID) a SOFTFAIL is what SSP has as t-flag, and
an Authentication-Results: hardfail is just a FAIL (for SPF etc.).

For receivers accepting "hardfail", not exactly the ideal course,
but receivers are free to shoot into their own foot.  Aim higher.

Well, FWIW, I don't think that t=testing is at all helpful either. 
What,
for example, does p=strict, t=testing mean? It seems like a silly-
state
to me and ripe for confusion. It's that sort of subjective state 
that we
should both learn from SPF and avoid.
