draft-lyon-senderid-core-00 was submitted in October 2004.  However, I 
again quote from my appeal[1]:

| So when Mark Lentczner changed[2] the version identifier to "spf2.0" in
| draft-ietf-marid-protocol-01 in the aftermath[3,4] of IETF-60, there was
| clearly a consensus to avoid the use of "v=spf1" records for checking of
| PRA or other unexpected identities.

So if in August 2004 the Sendmail people chose to make sid-milter use 
"v=spf1" records, they clearly did it against IETF consensus.  I don't 
think this practice should be sanctioned ex post despite them having 
ignored that consensus.
