unfortunately, there are no spf documents that specify proper usage.  as of 
now, spf is put forward as being appropriate for everyone to use all the time.

this is like telling the police to arrest anyone who is ever found on the 
premises at any time.


so,

it really would be helpful for the spf community to document proper and 
improper usage of spf.

it would make discussion about its role far more productive and precise.
