Hmm, guess this is one of those few times I have to "disagree".  SPF is 
intended to reduce or prevent "forgery" - but not that kind.  If the domain 
does not exist then you should / could / would want to drop the message, but 
not based on SPF (my postfix currently drops such messages with a simple 
"reject_unknown_sender_domain").  To me no SPF record is just that, no SPF 
record (eg a "none" response).
