ISPs should limit the number of lookups to 9 or 8 so that a

No, it's kind of obvious, and you could bypass restrictions
by copying parts of the sender policy instead of an "include".

Not good enough for some per-user policy tricks, and to copy
policies of 3rd parties is a PITA, so I hope that ISPs try
to limit their use of DNS-mechanisms and redirect=.  And I do
hope that the next generation of SPF wizards and validators
can count to ten.
