Sigh, at least I tried it.  It puts a burden on you
to allow only "sound" local parts working with all
(or most) 4408 implementations.  And it will be very
interesting when you permit any "sound" UTF8SMTPBIS
local parts -- the IETF "EAI" RFCs are in Last Call.

So far I'm not aware of any SPF EAI implementations.
