There is new reporting at CRUX today concerning sex abuse withing the SSPX and, importantly, the negligence and malfeasance of SSPX superiors.  While not directly related to the issues of liceity and validity of marriages, these problems suggest (to me anyway) another reason for Pope Francis to proceed with caution in his attempt to reconcile with the SSPX.  He has problems of his own! He ought to be very cautious about incorporating the SSPX into the structure of the Roman church without a very clear delineation of authority.  The Society -- especially the bishops -- must submit to the authority of the bishop of Rome in exactly the same way as every other bishop in the church does.
