Not only are the spammers using +all, but the more clever ones are using
several ip4 mechanisms with very broad CIDR specifications so that when
you put them all together, they end up being ip4:0.0.0.0/0.

While one can detect a Pass being returned by +all easily, doing so with
an aggregate of ip4's is far more difficult.

Which is the exact answer to why there isn't a special rule to disallow +all.

BTW, not all (or even most - or even any of the onese I checked) of the 
domains you said were +all in your last message have +all.

knology.net is one good example:

knology.net.            33145   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 mx ip4:24.214.63.101 
ip4:24.214.5.254 ip4:24.214.63.226 ip4:24.214.63.228 ip4:24.214.63.230 
ip4:69.73.24.0/24 -all"

From what I can tell they are NOT a spammer domain.  

I do think you need to slow down and examine your assumptions and your code 
before you start throwing accusations around.
