The stated goal of draft-schlitt-spf-classic is to document SPF,
basically as it was before the IETF got involved.  Yes, the IETF is
calling it an experiment, which I don't agree with.  It is
documenting an existing, well established, protocol.

Are you saying that the IETF shouldn't publish an RFC that documents
SPF?

I stated that the SPF and Sender ID experiments should not use the
v=spf1 records to avoid conflict. [...]

I does not make sense in any practical way whatsoever to make SPFv1 not 
use "v=spf1" records.  The fact that the IESG chose to perceive SPF as an 
experiment doesn't change that, either.

I know that there are many people who would like to eradicate SPF from 
history for a variety of reasons, but (a) it just cannot be done, and (b) 
many other people, me included, would consider it a gross waste, because 
it is evidently far from useless (even if a successor specification might 
be desirable, or if other protocols are also not useless).

Please also remember that nobody is asking for Sender ID not to make use 
of "v=spf1" records _at_all_.  The appeal is about Sender ID using them 
for PRA checking, so please be careful when wording statements like the 
above.
