I know you can do that, but when one of the most forged domains in history doesn't implement SPF in the way it was intended to be used it makes the scoring of mails from that domain pointless from an SPF point of view. That's my point. If it is implemented correctly by everyone so that we have a definate list of mail servers that mail can originate from then all would be right with the world but when it isn't used by the majority of people and the ones that do use it implement it in a way that says hey mail from 'aol.com' could come from any IP address in the world then there isn't really much point at all...
