Note:  Please don't assume that I dislike SPF in any way.  I think that, a
few problems aside, this is a great solution.  I would like to see it
become
more effective, that's all.


You could always use a strong hard pass/fail policy for your system.

The problem of a remote policy  being relaxed is basically that it turned it
into a overhead, simply because more has to be done by your receiver system.
We do a CBV, others do a similar Callback Reporting concept to validate or
confirm the non-exclusive (relaxed) sender.   Some other system couple it
with a Spam Scorer.

         NEUTRAL RESULT + REAL SPAM =  SPAM

The problem is that:

         PASS + REAL SPAM  is still SPAM

At this point, SPF is just one part of the solution at this point.
