Rationale
SPF checks will be carried out by old and new software alike, and it is not a Good Thing ™ if results will vary widely. In addition, the new RFC will aim at standard track (the current RFC 4408 is still in experimental status). For those reasons, only a carefully selected limited amount of changes will make it to SPFv3. That does not mean we should refrain to describe exciting new features in these pages, but it is necessary to consider the realistic possibility that they can be adopted, in order to avoid wasting everybody's time.
