Based on frequent permerrors, I've determined that people expect

what they meant was:

example.com IN SPF "v=spf1 a:mail.example.com -all"

we might even go as far as to require 
FQDNs to end in a dot, and declare anything else relative to %{d}.

I could see a syntax like a:mail@ being useful, where the @ means "relative to 
the domain of this record."
Perhaps single-token names like "mail" could be specified as 
relative-by-default.
