I've asked for a number of people external to the working group who have 
experience with SPF to review this draft, including multiple reviews on the 
spf-discuss mailing list.  Most of the comments have been general, like "looks 
much easier to implement that the exists: processing you'd have to use now to 
get feedback".  

I got this review today.  Comments in line.

I'm always a fan of examples, so I can add some more.

I think it's probably not necessary since this is within an SPF record and not 
about how the record as a whole is created or published.  Also, since the type 
SPF RR has almost no deployment, I'm afraid it might confuse things.
