My recollection is that our focus was on getting SPF but not Sender-ID 
from experimental to standards track.  At the time I think there was still 
some grousing that sender-ID wasn't entirely dead, and I don't think 
anyone was willing to engage in another fight to move it to historic.

It does seem wrong that 6686 doesn't say that it obsoletes 4405-4407. 
Perhaps that's the erratum.  The experient is over, so there's nothing to 
move to historic.

R's,
