Proposal for the SPF validator

Hi, is it simple to add a "semantical" check to the validator ?

If yes checks to see if included domains have an SPF record
would make sense, and a check to see if mx-mechanisms talk
about existing MX records would be also nice. A user told
me that he used mx:relay.example.com, because the SenderID
wizard proposed it - not exactly what happened, he clicked
on a misleading option. I added a caveat to the FAQ entry.

Which validator is "the" validator? AFAIK mine does this already.

Your validator...

...great, how does this work ? The domain under test
with dubious SenderID wizard mx-records is kau.edu.sa.
