I don't think it's really necessary to do that in the draft, because
their opinions are not significant.  The RFC Editor and IETF are the
people we need to convince, and I do not expect they have any problem
with voluntary standards.  However, if you really think it is important
to address those concerns in the RFC, the material at
http://www.spf.pobox.com/objections.html should provide one good
starting point.
