OK, a test for the test suite then:

  ...

The test suite does not currently support rfc2822 headers.  Since SPFv1
does not deal with rfc2822 headers, it seems lopsided to include such
support (and corresponding test driver complexity) to check 
SID implementations.  Note that SPFv1 libraries will never look at
rfc2822 headers.

If the SPF result is pass based on MAIL FROM when it should be, it isn't really
our problem if SID gets the wrong result.  (Except that evil and clueless
people will blame the wrong result on "SPF", I know.)
