Got it.  I listed jSPF as compliant with 2007.05 since 0.9.6:

  http://www.openspf.org/Implementations

In the process, I removed the entire "reference implementations" section.  
It was controversial from the beginning, and its entire purpose was to 
get the old Mail::SPF::Query deprecated gracefully, which once upon a 
time actually _was_ the reference implementation.  It would have been 
hard to overcome M:S:Q's "reference implementation" character without 
serving any replacement, however now that we do have a number of high 
quality implementations as well as a solid compliance testing concept 
(the test suite with its release scheme), there isn't a need for having 
dedicated "reference implementations" anymore.

So let's NOT say anything like "2008.08: trunk" in addition to "2007.05: 
since 0.9.6".

Please do.  Now that we've reasonably established that 0.9.6 passes 
2007.05, there's little speaking against giving you the benefit of the 
doubt and _right_away_ listing 0.9.7 as passing 2008.08, but that might 
confuse users who then go looking for 0.9.7 despite it not having been 
released yet.
