Re: The IANA has assigned us DNS number 99 for SPF

This is incorrect, I think.  There's a 0B length indicator missing at
the beginning of the data.  The SPF draft says that, "The format of
this type is identical to the TXT RR [RFC1035]."

The dig reveals:

sixxs.com. TYPE99 \# 11 763D73706631202D616C6C

the "11" is the "length indicator", the RDATA being 11 long.

Ahem. TXT records are a sequence of PASCAL-style strings, each
preceded by its own length octet.  So the above blob is not a valid
RDATA part of a TXT RR.
