So after the whole discussion, I don't think in 4.1 we can say "in 
contradiction of SPF". DMARC is defining a "local policy" for SPF, which is 
valid. People implementting DMARC must ensure their SPF implementation follow 
also this local policy. 

I would cite Terry's email where his SPF follows what DMARC expects, and where 
Scott said it is a valid implementation of SPF, and Scott implementation of 
SPF, which is valid too. I would also cite Tim's conformance tests, that 
matches operational deployment. 

So to be pedantic, suggested text: 
[SPF], which authenticates the HELO identity and the MAIL FROM identity: the 
domain found in an [SMTP] MAIL 
command, or the domain found in the HELO/EHLO command if the MAIL 
command has a null path. Note that in 
the context of DMARC, this later identity is only used.
