However, consider that supporting "-all" for SPF (in order to give SPF similar 
anti-forgery power) for all domains is also going to require upgrades to all MUAs in

servers.

Most server software supports SMTP AUTH, though it isn't always switched on. Most clients also support SMTP AUTH. There's no need to support multiple systems. The only other common system I'm aware of is POP-before-SMTP, but that's pretty crude and I'm not sure it really counts as authentication. It doesn't require any special MUA support, though. ;)
