Trying to deconstruct an SPF record and make judgments based on it's internal 
structure is 'bad'.  All you can take is the SPF result.  If someone publishes 
v=spf +1, then it's 'pass'.  That's all you know.  There are enough other ways 
to make a functionally equivalent record that it's not worth worrying about.
