Perhaps you shouldn't have said that.  Sendmail's sid-milter has used
v=spf1 records for PRA checks since its initial release in August
2004.  I don't know the date for draft-lyon-senderid-core-00, but I
believe it was well after August.

draft-lyon-senderid-core-00 was submitted in October 2004.  However, I 
again quote from my appeal[1]:

So if in August 2004 the Sendmail people chose to make sid-milter use 
"v=spf1" records, they clearly did it against IETF consensus.  I don't 
think this practice should be sanctioned ex post despite them having 
ignored that consensus.
