Thanks Jeff for your input,  however, this doesn't quite make sense.

PRA is not a magic new "entity" in the system. It is just a terminology for
checking existing headers, if any, at the payload.

SPF1 means checking MFROM.

From what I understood, MS, as a receiver, chooses to do PRA checks. If
the resulting domain, as found by the PRA, published a spfv1 record, it
will use that record.

Yes, that means records published with the intent of being to validated
against MAIL FROM are being abused.
