I think the presence of special processing for localhost is a anachronism 
that should be deprecated and eventually removed.  There is nothing in RFC 
4408 that says to give special treatment for localhost addresses.

We removed the equivalent from pyspf two or three years ago and the 
released Mail::SPF never supported it.
