both v=spf1 and v=spf2.0 records to avoid the conflict."

Ugh.

So, what we got out of this appeal is a note in the SPF draft blessing
the opt-out requirement in the SenderID drafts.  I can't see how this
helps us at all, and may well hurt.

Oh well.  Maybe now the IESG block on the SPF I-Ds will be cleared all
we have lost is time.
