Seems like this is a fairly major oversight? I would think this to be
the root information needed just after adding a record, to make
decisions about how strict you want to be, and the item which will be
tweaked the most often?

The prefixes for any item, including all, are:
+ or none: allowed source
- -: forbidden source
?: unknown status source
~: very questionable source

? and ~ prefixes should only be used during testing
or when there is a compelling business reason for using
them. For instance AOL uses ?all due to the nature of their
subscriber base. I expect they will be able to move to
a stricter record if SPF gets broad acceptance.
