To fix it is recomended that all references to SPF dns record type and
examples be changed from "SPF2" to just "SPF" with note in the text that
such dns type records should confront to SPF2.0 or later records. So above
example would change to:

example.com.  IN  SPF "spf2.0/pra +mx +a:colo.examp.e.com/28 -all"

This would have the potential of creating *exactly* the same dataspace
problems as stuffing all the different versions in a TXT record, and would
IMO be a bad engineering decision.
