As far as I'm concerned Sender-ID PRA can be one protocol in a
"sender policy framework" identified by spf2.0/pra, and if the
SPF Council authorizes this spf2.0/mfrom could be just another
protocol in the same spf2.0 framework. The latter could be
even backwards compatible with v=spf1. And a hypothetical
spf2.0/helo might be also backwards compatible with v=spf1.
My guess is that Microsoft has already figured this out, and the different
record formats will all be included in the framework, only it will be
called "Sender ID Framework", not "Sender Policy Framework". It doesn't
make sense for them to push petty arguments over different formats any further.
The question now for me is whether to spend any more time in the other
thread talking about a universal protocol that would allow the different
"frameworks" to work together. Is SenderID such a mess that it will be
difficult for everyone to adapt, or will it become the defacto standard?
