Sure, 3.1 is _exactly_ the same idea as in protocol-03:

The same idea in protocol-03 (3.6.3):

| Modifiers are either global or positional:

Why was this text in there? I don't understand what makes "first 
mechanism" any different then "2nd mechanism"?

Therefore in Roger's example...

| v=spf1 sc=mfrom,pra a mx 
|        sc=mfrom exists:%{l}._ses.example.com -all

...the sc=mfrom,pra would be a syntax error, and the sc=mfrom
would only affect the mx mechanism, nothing else.

I understand your point perhaps then we need to define that new type of 
"global positional" modifiers which positions would affect both mechanisms 
and other modifiers.
