Writing a standard which subverts the intent of individuals
publishing to a different and existing standard is simply

What happened was essentially a political move because people
chose not to publish SPF2 records for PRA. So, the response
was to force people to opt-out (publish an essentially
meaningless SPF2 record) because the SID camp was losing in
the real world marketplace.

One argument that was put forth after the announcement that
SID would apply PRA to SPF1 records was that it was a
conspiracy to get publishers to yank their SPF1 records.

Yes, when I said "excessive technical incompotence or outright
corruption" it wasn't the polite way to put it, but it was and
still is how I feel about it.

People and organizations chose to publish a record according
to a standard because they have a reasonable expectation on
how that record will be used. While there may be edge cases
of abuse, the expectation is that most people will respect
the standard. That's why it's called a standard.

"Your honor, I have this alternative means of interpreting
what a red stoplight indicates.....go go go as fast as you
can".

LOL, precisely.  Full ACK on all your points, bye, Frank
