Don't you think this becomes clear from my IESG appeal (which I'm going to 
include in the IAB appeal)?  Somehow I doubt this is worth mentioning more 
explicitly.

MARID decided that using existing v=spf1 policies for PRA cannot work,
evidence Meng's v=marid article. 

This is stated in the IESG appeal, but I am reiterating it for emphasis in 
the IAB appeal draft.  Meng's article is referenced by the IESG appeal.

For a substantial portion of mail (some say 80%, pointer to one of
Hector's article stating this) MAIL FROM and PRA are different, as
explained in (pointer to old appeal).

I'm not sure this can be considered even half representative.  What article 
was that again (URL)?

More than a million v=spf1 policies have been published under this
assumption since early 2004.

I think we can only legitimately use the number of records as a basis for 
our argument that were published before late 2004.  This is what I did in 
the IESG appeal.

Most of the other items of yours are included.  Thanks.
