          we need to discuss what this means for autoreplies and such

There is no confusion in RFC 4408 about what this means:

http://new.openspf.org/RFC_4408#op-result-neutral

"A 'Neutral' result MUST be treated exactly like the 'None' result; the 
distinction exists only for informational purposes. "

It means what it means.  Whatever you do for a domain that publishes no SPF 
record, do the same here.

This is the ONLY MUST receiver policy in 4408.  If someone wants it to be 
different for v=spf3, we can debate that, but for v=spf1 I think it's crystal 
clear.
