So far there was no such example.  Maybe one exception:  If a
sender policy contains "+mx" _only_ for the HELO in bounces
(i.e. MAIL FROM:<>), then it could be better to have a general
rule for this check.  Or in other words, a HELO domain.example
should result in a PASS if sent from any MX for domain.example,
even if the sender policy doesn't mention "+mx" explicitly.

That would be a minor update of a special case in classic SPF.
Better than new %{e} or scope tricks for _this_ purpose.  IMHO
Hector's arguments were convincing, no v=spf2 at this moment,
unless MARID insists on new syntax in a RfC.  Bye, Frank
