"Senders" can be broken down into multiple segment, so for
the sake of clarity I will list some of the main ones.

1) ESPC

2) ISPs

3) folks in the SPF community who know the difference
   between PRA and mail-from

3) enterprises and domain owners who don't know the
   difference between PRA and mail-from

What do you think each segment will do?

Assume MS has a wizard that asks all the same questions that
the SPF wizards ask, but spit out results with an spf2.0/pra
prefix.
