Not wanting to comment on the SPFv3 proposal as such, but...  Don't do 
that!  Don't write proposed SPFv3 syntax using the "v=spf1" tag!  This 
runs the risk of confusing newbies endlessly!

I agree with Julian and would like to go further.

  *DO NOT USE v=spf3 EITHER*

If you want to define experimental records, use something like
v=spf-SDG, v=spf-ng, v=experimental-spf or something.  We don't want
to polute the namespace with records that might cause confusion!
