Maybe any implementation that passes the test suite should be conditionally
certified - with the person(s) or organization doing the test listed 
as part of the certification.  That is probably good enough.  There are
already lots of ways to screw up SPF even if you get all the
ip,mfrom,helo + DNS -> result mappings correct.  (Like the every popular
"check behind an MX".)
