My understanding is that this is likely only a temporary situation.
Microsoft still uses SIDF. Personally I'd prefer that everyone not get
in an uproar. SIDF is what it is and those who use it are who they
are. My personal recommendation to folks when I give email
authentication training is that they use spf2.0/mfrom with the same
contents as their spf1 record.

Everyones time would be much better served by a discussion on whether
(I am supportive) to move SPF to standards track (remember, it is
still experimental) within IETF. This could either be through  working
group or as an independent submission through openspf.
