Since the purpose of the current spec we are reviewing is to codify what has

The purpose is probably to codify behavior that is used in majority of
current SPF implementations. If majority are not considering that syntax
error in record should result perm error, then the spf-classic draft
should be changed as you suggest.
Perhaps what would be helpful is to create matrix of all known spf
implementations (perhaps not every one but at least those whose developers
are on this list) and then compare as far as how they implement some
features.
