The whole purpose of SPF is to check the "real" email address used for
the last introduction of the message. This can conflict with privacy
expectations, for instance for a roaming user.

What privacy expectations
do roaming users have in the context of spf?

It is widely accepted in the mobility world that recipients should not
be aware of the actual location of the sender.

That's a matter for the sender, not the recipient, and I don't
accept that the issue has any relevance for spf.
