Softfail is not "debug", it is (among other things) a hint to

Does this reflect existing practice? (I think that Fail == SoftFail
is a common configuration, but I'm not sure.)
I've seen some of this in the complaints/problems submitted to spf-help and
via the web site, but it does not appear to me to be common.
