Urrgh.  SPF is as far as I know the only protocol published by the
IETF that stores policies at the unprefixed hostname, and that is
widely agreed to be a mistake.  DKIM and DMARC use prefixes.

There's the somewhat separate issue that if the prefixed name has to
be a hostname so it can be used in a URI, it can't contain an
underscore.

PS: Dave Crocker and I have been working on a prefix registry, but
it's a thankless task.
