There are two ways to report this information back to domain owners:
they can use an "exists" for logging, or they can help develop a
reporting syntax, eg. v=spf1 -all report=postmaster+spf(_at_)%{d}

If a spammer sends one million e-mails with the spoofed
domain, then with
"v=spf1 -all report=postmaster+spf(_at_)%{d}" the poor postmaster
will receive
one million e-mails.

Granted.

He is also able to turn off the reporting via updating the SPF record to remove 
the report
mechanism.

I still think that the benefits it may provide to ease in deployment are worth 
considering.
