Unfortunately, we have currently two drafts:

Actually there are more, James has something published in May.

Known bugs and typos => don't use it.

draft-schlitt-spf-00

Obsolete, schlitt-spf-01 is state of the art, and not yet
ready.  It's also not yet backed by the "council", because
the "council" does not yet exist.
 
There seem to be a consensus here that

draft-schlitt-spf-00 is better

It's not yet ready.  There was no "internal last call" etc.

I have several choices:

0)  Wait until the "council" exists, and until there is a
    draft backed by the council and submitted to the IETF

 [1]
review draft-lentczner-spf-00 and the hell with its
weaknesses.

As far as the SPF RR is concerned it's fine.  But Wayne
replaced SPF by TXT everywhere, therefore this is no more
option... :-(

2) Submit draft-schlitt-spf-00 to the IETF myself.

Why can't you just sit and wait until the council exists ?

Fixing draft-schlitt is easy, just s/TXT/SPF/g and then
undo it in a few lines, but not _now_ - no more private
last minute stunts, please.
