Throughout the document, when it says: 

Network Working Group                                            M. Wong
Request for Comments: 4408                                    W. Schlitt
Category: Experimental                                        April 2006

It should say:

Network Working Group                                            M. Wong
Request for Comments: 4408                                    W. Schlitt
Category: Experimental                                        April 2006
OBSOLETED BY: 7208

Notes:

I saw recent discussions mentioning RFC 4408 and copying the phrase "it does not specify an Internet standard of any kind", which implies the authors browsed the RFC but didn't see a link to the actual version of SPF.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Currently, “Obsoleted by” appears on the info page, html format, and Datatracker page for each RFC, but not in the txt or pdf formats.
