As far as I'm concerned Sender-ID PRA can be one protocol in a

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.

But spf2.0/pra is not backwards compatible, and never will be.

Hear hear,  well put - better than my attempt.
