Disclaimer: While I have an account, I certainly don't speak for ibiblio.
For monster domains (AOL, earthlink), where you want to force compliance
and don't believe in exceptions, SPF would work decently.
For vanity domains (myname.tld), where I always use the same server(s),
it'd work perfectly.
ibiblio, with lotsa users (even fairly technical ones), is likely a bad
match for SPF. People are not required/guaranteed to send ibiblio.org
mail via its servers, and it'd probably be a pain to explain it/enforce
such a policy to a large, loosely-connected userbase.

Besides, SPF is a TXT-overloading kludge. Suffer the standards process
like everyone else.
