Therefore, that leaves one under-discussed question: should a prefix be

      No. 

1) Inconsistent with SPF RR that doesn't use a prefix
2) Causes deployment headaches for those who use
   DNS providers whose web-based tools cannot handle
   sub-domains or underscore characters.

        Granted, said providers probably can't handle SPF
RRs or TXT records either.
