Should we change the spec to say that if the argument to an
"a" mechanism is obviously an IP address, we interpret it as
ip4 / ip6?

In theory you could decree that the A of an A is an A, but it
would get really weird for MX.  And if you'd allow IPs instead
of domains in A, then you could also eliminate IP4 / IP6 (?)

Better don't touch it.  The transition to spf2.0/mailfrom is
enough confusion for the rest of 2004.
