The ABNF in -protocol 3.4.1 is (mostly from a post by Wayne)

  version     = "spf2." ver-minor "/" ver-scope *( "," ver-scope )

  ver-scope   = "pra" / "mailfrom" / name
  name        = alpha *( alpha / digit / "-" / "_" / "." )

Will there also be a helo scope?

We can't use either pra or mailfrom because they break forwarding.


A HELO scope would be useful. I could publish records for that, whereas
I could not publish records for either pra or mailfrom for much the same
reasons as Tony has already described.


I think that Andy's proposal would make Sender-ID extensible enough to allow for all kinds of scopes.
