As you will remember I have consistently argued that the checking

A domain doing SES publishes "v=spf1 exists:%{l}._ses.%{o}
-all". Of course the receiver can interpret this record at it
desires, but if it uses it for anything else than the MAIL
FROM address, then it is just stupid.
I agree in that case, but that follows from the record itself, the
definition of {o} and {l} determine that.
I don't see the need for a scope record since the macros implicitly define
the scope.
