Sorry, but that's just silly.  Nobody ever said that inbound and outbound mail
has to take the same path.

Please excuse me while I chuckle.  You've seen how many screwed up SPF records 
there are.

Whatever the reason was to limit SPF to 10 lookups, on today's Internet there 
is no

trivial to implement.
