I think the discussion on the SPF draft re using a percentage instead of X/Y 
is germane for this draft as well.  I think they should do it the same way 
(and I like a percentage better).

I think the reporting modifiers we're proposing to add will only have a very 
modest impact on SPF record size and I've yet to run into a situation where 
overly large records were needed for SPF (people produce them all the time, 
but they can, IMO, always be redone to avoid the need).  I don't see the 
modest expansion in record size as an issue.
