Doesn't work, there are cases where you get an erroneous PASS
for PRA-on-spf1.
 Uh, can you give an example where using the PRA on SPF records will
give an "erroneous PASS"?  By "erroneous", I mean case where a domain
the domain owner determined by the PRA algorigthm is given a PASS when
it would not have PASSes if it was found in the return-path.
I can see cases where the PRA will give a pass when the domain owner
in the From: wouldn't want it to.  (e.g. a phisher adding their own
domain to a resent-sender: header.)

From the POV of the record publisher your example IS an erroneous PASS.

I don't see that.  The phisher published the record, they *wanted* the
PASS, and the got it.

Neither SPF nor SenderID protect the From: header.
