I concur. Purely pragmatically, many people will want to check both
SPF and IETF-compliant Sender ID. Being able to fetch both with a
single query is therefore beneficial.
(Of course it doesn't matter if I use separate pieces of software to
check SPF and Sender ID, both of which make their own queries; my
local caching nameserver will still ensure that only one query is made
to the authoritative nameservers.)
