Doesn't the redirect= modifier have to be processed left to right along

Not to my knowledge; it only swings into action if there's no all, so you
could define it up front and it wouldn't operate until all the
mechanisms had been exhausted.

Arg, I guess I misunderstood the spec.  Ok.

So, "v=spf1 redirect=foo.com a" will redirect only if 'a' doesn't
match, right?  I find this confusing.

Include: will either match or not match, and what it does depends on
the (optional) prefix.  A redriect= will allow any status (+/-/?/~) to
be returned.
