Actually, I was thinking about this a bit and wonder if the SPF
semantics that Frank Ellermann posed today actually exist in the

If such semantics do exist, that is great because then the answer to
your question is perhaps: it is all in how a publisher might publish
their SPF record.

No, "op=auth" (or generally "op=") is not part of the SPFv1 specification, 
and we cannot really include it since it is not supported by any SPFv1 
implementations out there.  Because of this, support for it would have to 
be optional in the specification, which would make at least "op=auth" in 
particular mostly pointless.
