That's actually fine for receivers.  An SPF PASS means that
they can accept the mail "on probation" and bounce later if
it turns out to be spam:  After an SPF PASS the bounce can't
hit an innocent bystander.  

Otherwise an SPF PASS from unknown strangers means nothing,
it only means "can bounce / challenge / reply / ... later". 
 
One of the problems with PRA:  A PRA PASS from an unknown
stranger means nothing at all, all auto-responses including
bounces go to the MAIL FROM, and that's not necessarily the
same as the PRA.
