Part of the problem here is that DMARC generally sits on top of an

could put in a hack to say don't use the SPF result if the MAIL FROM
is null, but I don't think that's what 7489 says.
Are changes to 7489 off the table here? I didn’t know.
They are certainly possible, but I would want a good reason. At this
point, SPF using HELO seems harmless so I don't see a reason to
disallow it.
From a security standpoint, I wonder why you would want to allow
something you know can be gamed. But that is probably more a question
for SPF itself.
