I agree.  "Don't do stupid stuff" goes in an A/S, not in the spec.

I entirely believe people are confused about SPF, but they're confused
about everything. A few days ago on the generally clueful NANOG list
we had to explain to someone that rejecting mail if DKIM signatures
don't verify is not a good idea.

R's,
