Why not just name it "if:" (less confusing) and provide "include:" as
a deprecated (confusing but backwards compatible) alternative?

Because "if-fail:" would also be quite useful.

But you could always say "-if:".

Or do we really need a full-blown "if" control statement?  (No way!)

For more evidence that "include:" is misnamed, I found this in my logs:

config.com text "v=spf1 include:216.28.158.0/24 include:67.15.56.0/24
include:67.15.57.0/24 include:www.2.sitegalore.com
include:66.219.135.0/24" " -all"

Seriously, I refuse to take people into account who don't read the fine 
manual.  It's really not that hard to understand.  (Besides, I'm pretty 
sure that the above record is a result of the openspf.org wizard.)
