This is not for the spec to say.  It's receiver policy.

If I thought people were rejecting on PermError/Unknown, then I'd have
had to advise him not to publish an SPF record until Godaddy gets
themselves fixed.  That isn't going to help adoption.

It is practically impossible to predict how people are going to react to 
PermError/Unknown.  As for a practical solution to this user's problem, he 
could manually include the semantics of the GoDaddy record in his own 
record.
