Sounds slightly nonsensical, as a "~all" doesn't have a decent chance
to be amended within the few days that a temporary failure can keep a
given message in the remote host's queue.

In facts, I get

# rfc1035/testspf xxxx@aol.com 64.12.138.200 ...
pass

According to http://www.openspf.org/RFC_4408 , you can get a TempError
as a consequence of DNS lookup failures or timeouts.

AFAIK no. That should be amended, to fix forwarding. (One should login
in order to submit mail without SPF checking. However, authenticated
hosts currently get full RELAYCLIENT permissions.)
