when CallerID and SPF were merged
<meep> Maybe that was a merger of united-CYA and CallerID,
but not v=spf1. IIRC the key phrase was "this is the split"
and the author was "Wayne". Testing my memory with GMaNe...
...tough, I got it wrong, my second attempt "united" worked:

the workgroup chairs said we were supposed to focus on
SenderID and we would deal with the other identities later.
Yes, later, after the 2822 nonsense was finally declared to be
what it is, nonsense. That's what I thought it means, and so I
waited patiently for this declaration and the begin of the real
2821 business...
As a result, discussions of SPF's MAIL FROM and HELO checking
didn't come up very often, but the CSV folks kept bring up
their system.
...IIRC they also waited patiently. Almost nobody violated
Marshall's ruling about the "2822 first" pecedence. Today I
would shoot immediately - somebody proposed to shoot a.s.a.p.
instead of waiting followed by belated appeals after the fact.
the whole idea of the various sender verification checks is
to fix known problems with SMTP.
Back to the roots - STD 10 meets SPF - back to the routes. Bye
