I would say that senders should be guaranteed that all clients will process
at least X mechanisms. If someone wants to do more work than that, I don't
think the spec should prohibit that.
Do more work to what end? If someone decides to do more work to still
look for a Pass, then the results will be unpredictable. I'm fine with
saying "SPF evaluators can do as much work as they want, but the final
result should be arrived at before limit X is reached. If limit X is
reached with no definite result, then result code Y is returned.
Clients can continue processing the record beyond limit X, if they want
to waste their own resources."
Does it make sense to continue processing the record after you get a
Pass?
