What exactly did you have in mind when you were critical of Phil's
message? 

None of what's currently supported by SPFv1's macro syntax.

Me neither.

My original proposal of a DNS based Designated Sender mechanism was let
the DNS server itself perform all policy interpretation.  A DNS query
would (eventually) include all the necessary data about the arriving
email, including where it comes from, to allow that decision to be made.

IMO Phil's statement implied that one might pass some private information for 
the DNS server to make a decision based on it, like recipient address (e.g. for 
distinguishing to:<postmaster> mail from others), etc.

If he didn't mean that then I obviously misunderstood his statement.
