[spf-discuss] The _real_ motivation for SPFv3 (plus: v=spf666)

Hi all,

*ahem*

I think the discussion of new or to-be-deprecated features of a future 
SPFv3 is going in a slightly wrong direction.  (Besides, the "Another test 
case for the test suite" thread has lost its focus a while ago.)

While being able to say "v=spfX 192.168.0.1-23" or "v=spfX host.example. 
com" is nice and all, no domain owner is going to upgrade to SPFv3 for 
that.

What we _really_ should be discussing are fundamentally new features that 
domain owners are actually going to want to use for their sender policies, 
such as DKIM, PGP, and S/MIME integration, plus other useful stuff that 
none of us have thought of before.  Be creative!  Think outside the box!

And while we're at it, going from my and Wayne's comments about the (ab)use 
of "v=spf1" and "v=spf3" for SPFv3 exploration purposes, I propose that we 
use a tag of "v=spf3dev" instead.  Or, more funnily, "v=spf666".

Thanks for your attention. :-)
