From the article:

"authenticates e-mail by checking the address of the sending server against a record added to domain name servers. "

This is factually incorrect. SID absolutely does not validate the sending server.

SPF1 records make an assertion that is in the RFC2821 (Transport) space for a particular domain. SenderID is all about the RFC2822 (DATA) space.
