That's not the case.  It's one of the few hard MARID results,
that Sender-ID cannot abuse existing v=spf1 sender policies,
because it's semantically different and incompatible.  That's
why they switched to spf2.0/pra for PRA, and after PRA failed
in the "internal last call" the essential part of classic SPF
was added as spf2.0/mfrom.
   
Many domains will not experience problems from the use of
their spfv1 records by SenderID.

Almost all domains would suffer badly from the abuse of their
v=spf1 records by Sender-ID, unless they stay away from many
mailing lists, moderated newsgroups, broken MTAs, well behaved
MSAs enforcing submission rights without modifying the DATA,
forwarders implementing SRS, and other potential problems.
