How on earth can a parser support undefined syntax?
First, I certainly didn't say we *should*, I just said we *could*.
Second: /\S+/ supports unknown non-whitespace words (i.e. it can parse them),
but we couldn't ever possibly know the meaning of unknown non-whitespace words.
Some people here seem to think it would be a good idea to allow unknown
mechanisms to just be skipped when interpreting SPF records, or at least be
ignored if the SPF tester finds a clear result before reaching the unknown
mechanism. I don't think so.
