Could the xml proposal just be a method of dynamic advertising.  dns is kind 
of static.
adding an xml component could allow for insertion of paid for advertising in 
an
otherwise 'free to the consumer' email service.  Upon spf lookup, text akin 
to 'This
message brought to you by the letter M' could be appended to an spf-xml aware 
MTA.

With the backlash against html mail, this would seem a novel approach.


Ok, a little research says maybe.

From CNN: 
(http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/01/19/google.email.reut/index.html)
"The Mountain View, California, company, which has recently made several e-mail 
related acquisitions, is working on a way to serve advertising to an e-mail at 
the moment it is opened, people close to the company said."

That however does not mitigate the possibility of me being looney.
