"Okay, if the result is now v=spf1 => test only
SPF/MAILFROM, and v=marid1 => select the SPF tests you like
today, then I can live with this strange solution."

I have three questions:

* Will the Marid protocol be changed to say ... senders
must publish using v=marid1?

* Will those who have already published records be obliged
to change from v=spf1 to v=marid1?

* Will the existing libraries and plug-ins have to be
amended?

I think the answer to the first and last is yes.

To deal with legacy sender records, so meeting the
commitment of backward compatibility, one could as Frank
suggests have:

"v=spf1 => test only SPF/MAILFROM, and v=marid1 => select
the SPF tests you like today."
