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".

Really, it actually says that? Where? 

I haven't found it yet (someone have it?), but someone posted to
spf-discuss an encounter with a mail admin using sender-id who quoted the
manual from M$ on when to publish various types of records.  The gist was,
that if your MFROM and PRA were different, you should publish spf2.0/pra
and spf2.0/mfrom, whereas if they were the same, you should publish just
v=spf1.  This is wrong on so many levels, it leaves me tongue tied. But it
just reiterates the Sender-ID RFC.
