One thing that needs to be fixed is the language about giving a

*not* an editorial change and I will need to go back to the IETF Area
Director (Ted Hardie) and/or the IESG and make sure such a change is
ok.  Or, at least, that's what Andy Newton recommended that I do.

Sounds perfectly reasonable.  Your NPOV for anything related to
the SPF RR is also guaranteed <beg> and if the relevant AD does
not allow this fix it's no big deal.

<rant> I always wanted "take whatever you get after asking for
SPF first" without attempts to check that it's identical if you
get both.  But allegedly some anonymous 'DNS gurus' demanded it.

Came along Florian and said 'bull'.  Who were the 'DNS gurus' ?

About a third of all answers in SPF Help contain caveats about
caching and TTLs, and we still managed to let this "MUST" slip
in, </rant> <sigh />
