The spf2.0 idea with different contexts in different records
makes sense.

- Users who would like to protect From:, Sender: and other
  headers should publish spf2.0/pra records to take advantage
  of PRA.

Without mentioning all these obscure cases where PRA simply
won't work as expected that's a death trap for these users.
You simply can't recommend PRA without a huge document about
the potential side effects.

 - When SPFv2 is complete, users will be able to combine
   these two uses, as well as other types of protection for
   other contexts, into one single record.

No, that's not the case for spf2.0 and different policies.  If
your SPFv2 is not the MARID / Sender-ID spf2.0 it's possible,
but talking about an imaginary v=spf2 now in a document about
v=spf1 abuse would create FUD.

But I could sign the rest of your text as is, bye, Frank
