I have no plans to submit them as I-Ds. They have
informational value at best. I hope they are a
constructive contribution.
Thanks Meng, I found pleny of value in these drafts. They look promising. I
would like to see them put forward to IETF one day.
Regards,
James Pullicino

Actually, we do. There is a set of drafts out there that
collectively describe the "unified" model. They have not
been published to the list for fear of distraction; given
the tight time constraints, it seems prudent to focus on
getting Sender ID off the ground before opening the door to
more theoretical discussion. But I will mention them
for the record, and because there has been some interest in
the past in defining the term "Unified SPF".
At the WG meeting, some folks suggested we should extract
the PRA algorithm from the core document because it has
general utility in the 2822 space independent of MARID work.
That refactoring represents a step in the direction of the
unified drafts.
The "unified" document describes the overall structure.
The "protocol" document describes the SPF test.
"ptr", "helo", "mailfrom", and "pra" describe the semantics
of the SPF test in the context of each identity.
"best" shows how the four instances interact.
The documents at http://spf.pobox.com/unified/id/ are a
rough draft. They represent only my take (together with
Mark) on another way to present Sender ID. I have no plans
to submit them as I-Ds. They have informational value at
best. I hope they are a constructive contribution.
