If I am reading the group right, using the suggested `auth=` tag for explanation, it appears the editor wants the new DMARCbis default to be:

	auth=dkim

And it would required an explicit tag like;

	auth=spf,dkim

to express a desire for spf to be in the evaluation.  This offers DMARCbis backward compatibility.   This would be the one “upgrade” change a domain would need to make, an optional “extended behavior” to make it behave like DMARC today.  The default behavior today is auth=spf,dkim.  DMARCbis’s default would be auth=dkim.

I am saying it sounds like this.  

Overall, imo, it is never a good idea to exerted changes on domains with bis specs, requiring them to change their current DMARC record to reinforce the security level they want using SPF in DMARC evaluation.
