Ignoring the DNS WG is the best, most satisfactory and easiest
route.

The vendors can drive deployment. The DNS WG will only crash the
car.
/me ducks to avoid inevitable firefight
Heh, heh, I don't think the DNSEXT guys are watching. They can't
believe that something as horrible as SPF might happen to the DNS.
My backchannels are reporting that several folk who think they are
in control here are saying they agreed to the MARID group only as
the best way to kill the idea.
So no, I am not going to take proposals to wait three years for a
RR at all seriously. I have a product here that will launch in
months. You know exactly how much weight I give to the ponderances
of the IETF :-)
What I hope MARID will do is to trim out the unnecessary decoration
form SPF, but anything that threatens to delay deployment is going
to cause the group to bolt.
