The only default that (IMHO) makes sense is "a" for HELO verification.

It does make the record a bit more intuitive.

"v=spf1 a:outbound.example.com -all"

"v=spf3 outbound.example.com -all"

Erm, no, what I mean with "implicit 'a'" is the following:

"v=spf1 a ?all"

A host with an IP address that resolves to "mailhost.example.com" is
implicitly allowed to say "HELO mailhost.example.com".  A host with
a different IP address is NOT forbidden to use the name by default
(in other words: ?all, not -all).
