Would it be feasible to also include a way to reference authorized mailers by a name pattern: like: *.mx.lao.com (either through something like "permit:pat=*.mx.lao.com" in the spf config._smtp_client.... record, or something lie "permit:ptr=some.domain", and the list of patterns would in PTR record at some.domain).

For big domains, that could simplify maintenance of the SPF/MX lists by simply adopting a coherent naming strategy for the mailers. Moreover during a transition/deployment period, this might provide a good way for a third party to publish SPF data in a fallback domain for a given ISP( because usually they already have such a coherent naming).
