According to the history of the page, I wrote that in 2006. Don't confuse engineering and marketing. Despite the revisionist claims to the contrary, the SPF community pushed pretty hard on type SPF deployment, but it didn't work out very well. Most open source libraries have given up on type SPF query be default, despite having supported it initially. Support for type SPF in SPF verifiers is more likely declining than increasing. At least for the open source implementations capable of supporting it, the code has been there for half a decade. It's mostly been turned off by default for operational reasons. Scott K
