Actually it's Mail::SPF and as we already discussed on the spfbis list this 
design choice caused operational problems and in some cases applications that

One perl module designer being overly theoretically correct doesn't really add 
much to your overly theoretical argument.

So far, compared to the discussion we had in the working group at the time, 
there isn't any new information to evaluate.
