I do not believe Meng is correct that we won't get an RFC because of
this NOT RECOMMENDED statement. Rather, I think that we should be
able to convince the IESG that the MARID (SenderID) folks must do what
was decided in the MARID WG. That is, they MUST use only spf2.0
records.
I would also advise people to remember that the rules are different for
EXPERIMENTAL status and that EXPERIMENT can be limited as the experiment
author wishes it to be. The IESG would not be right to decide that
particular experiment should not go forward because its rules are not
wide enough to cover needs of another experiment!
In case of conflict its in fact their prerogogive to request changes so
that two experiments were to use some kind of identification that could
easily tell their records apart.
So what should be important for SPF is to make sure the IESG understands
that SID drafts and SPF drafts are not going in together but as separately
proposed experiments.
P.S. Yes, I know Wayne and others do not think this can be considered an
experiment and believe spf-classic draft qualifes for draft standard
status, but bear in mind the current situation IETF is in and political
realities and please play along.
