I'd like to make the Received-SPF header more structured.  Can you guys
suggest a sane format?

I don't think distinguishing between +all and other forms of "pass" will
be useful.  Square peg, round hole.  Spammers can think of a dozen ways
to fake a +all.  Consider "ptr:com ptr:org", or a bunch of ip4:1/2 type
things, etc.  Better to leave that stone unturned.
