Given that we are now committed to moving over to the type99 SPF record, the
spec should say that MTA's SHOULD check for the type99 record, and MAY check

problems of conflicting records.
It doesn't solve the problem of (broken but common) DNS servers that don't
respond when queried for a type99 - resulting in timeout.
