Furthermore, why do you care whether the receiver rejects "Fail"

or feeds them into their /dev/random?  What difference does it make
to you?

Given the choices above, it makes no difference.  I was thinking of
bounce back messages to my servers, which does make a difference.
Perhaps I've forgotten yet another thing about SPF, but does the spec
already provide for recommending the stopping of bounce back messages
from occurring when a domain name is spoofed and SPF "Fail"s?

Not really.  This should be made clearer in a revised spec, although I'd 
hope that common sense would stop receivers from bouncing at least on
"Fail" or "SoftFail" even without an explicit hint.
