I asked for the IESG to not consider the SPF I-D to be experiemental.
It was turned down.  According to Ted, *none* of the IESG members
expressed interest in changing the status from Experiemental.

So far, no one has appealed that decision, and there are only a few
days left to do so.  Like the appeal on the re-use of SPFv1 records, I
don't think it would be a productive use of my time to write an appeal
on the experimental status, and thus I won't do it.


If the goal of the SPF Classic draft was intended to capture a point in time pre-dating semantic extensions related to RFC-2822 defined content, then perhaps the draft should be on an historic track. ; )

SPF Classic has not achieved the goal of capturing a pristine version of pre-MARID semantics. With some semantic changes introduced by the SPF Classic draft itself, these potential semantic conflicts, as well as those introduced by Sender-ID, have not been addressed. Prudent accommodations were made within the Sender-ID draft however. The SPF Classic draft has not found higher ground in this regard. Expecting any standards group to retroactively arbitrate semantics restrictions for a previously enigmatic DNS record would be disruptive. An unfrozen SPF Classic draft adding provisions for a scoped version of the DNS record would allow some percentage of publishers the means to indicate their intended semantics when so needed. The conflict issue being described seems specifically based upon a design flaw within SPF Classic.
