I don't really understand the need for this.  What to do when SPF produces a 
fail result is an SPF question.  Not a DMARC question.  Additionally, we have 
discussed this before.  Note that not even RFC 7208 tells receivers what to do 
with SPF fail.  It seems far, far out of scope to do so here.

On the theory that the invocation not to relitigate things we've already gone 
through won't be honored entirely in the breach, can we not do this?
