I again ask that the "v=spf1 " magic number be interpreted as

Since "v=spf1" has always been experimental, and changing over time, and
hence there is no normative reference for it, I do not think that the
next round of drafts should include any official endorsement of what to
do with such records.
That said, I don't see anything wrong with implementations deciding to
support these records as well. However, I would caution that it seems
the opinion of many on this list (myself included), that "v=spf1" be
treated as valid for only the "mailfrom" scope. I.e.: as
"spf2.0/mailfrom".
Would there be anything wrong with a separate informational draft on
this, especially considering that something like your statement above is
not readily apparent to implementation authors.
