I agree with the sentiment behind this suggestion.  It might
even be more useful if v=spf1 records were defined to mean

  spf2.0/pra,mailfrom,helo,pra

or perhaps

  spf2.0/pra,mailfrom,helo,pra,ptr

and if a sender is uncomfortable with those semantics then
they should publish proper spf2.0 records that override the
v1 entries.

No. If the standard supports spf1 then spf1 must mean *exactly* what it means today. Otherwise you are just introducing chaos.
