unknown strangers.

True.

If what you have in mind is "dropping NONE / NEUTRAL is okay",
then I'm not sure how that will end.

No, I just said: don't bounce on None, Neutral, or anything besides Pass.

However, sooner or later we'll have to reach the situation where anything 
other than Pass can be rejected, or SPF will have failed.  And I'm not 
just thinking about SPFv1's IP-based path-auth mechanisms.  If necessary 
to get most senders on board and thus covering most mail strictly with 
either Pass or Fail, SPF will have to give senders more policy options 
_besides_ IP-based path-auth, i.e. DKIM, PGP, S/MIME, etc.
