Unfortunately, we have currently two drafts:
Actually there are more, James has something published in May.
For a more or less complete list (but not only about SPF) see

The one James referred to is spf-draft-200405.txt, which is
(surprise!) the version of the classic SPF draft right before
spf-draft-200406.txt.
Your list is far from complete, as far as old SPF drafts go. I have
the copies of the following SPF drafts easily available, and probably
several more if I dig around:

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.
I agree, both on it not being final, and needing backing by the
consensus of the community before I try shifting to be something more
than libspf2 doc. If/when that shift happens, I expect more community
feedback on several issues that I've so far glossed over and ignored.
I'll try and get an schlitt-spf-02 out with another stab at
the Received-SPF: parts soon. I'm looking for comments in this
draft. See:

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... :-(
I didn't replace SPF with TXT everywhere, just many places. I added
stuff to show that people should publish both, just like the spec ays.
Personally, I don't think that exclusively using a DNS RR in the spec
that won't exist on most people's name servers for many months or
years is very productive. I think a more balanced approach is
appropriate.
