RE: what about an SPF modifier for C/R policy?

Here's my idea.  Have a modifier that would usually be one of "cr=0" or
"cr=1", to establish the domain owner's C/R policy on sending
confirmation requests back to them (their users).  The semantics would
be to store the value in a "cr" variable, and use whatever was last
stored whenever a mechanisms validates the sending client.  Then an MX
host, to be compliant with this idea, would _never_ send a C/R
confirmation request if the last stored "cr" value is 0.

I think this C/R flag, which is a good idea BTW, is really a separate concept 
from SPF, and should probably reside in a separate TXT record:

  v=cr1 (no|yes|exists:...)
