You are correct Alan, ISP's will have the toughest time getting to
strict SPF. This is definitely a case where private domains with
more control over their userbase need to lead the way.

For those of us with private domains, or running corporate domains,
we have the easiest job. It is (among other things) a brand control
issue. Your domain name is roughly equivalent to company letterhead,
and should be protected. Any non-technological executives you may
need to explain the situation to will understand the analogy, and
you may find them more enthusiastic for a solution to the forgery
problem than you are.

Just consider how the CEO would react if he discovered that someone
was sending bomb threats to random people and companies around town
on your company letterhead...
