I think the appeal should proceed:
-SPF has been delayed time and again by PR/PRA/MARID/etc, a little bit

(occasional) misinterpretation, but that failures of PRA's broken 
functionality will be seen as SPF failure unless PRA is forced to use 
its own records

But a successful appeal will not "force PRA to use its own records".
It will only allow you to point to an experimental RFC and say
"you shouldn't be using v=spf1 records for PRA".  The abuser will simply
point to Microsoft documentation and say, "this says you should 
publish v=spf1 only if MFROM and PRA and the same".  Who are they
going to believe, an experimental RFC, or Microsoft documentation?
