+1. A TXT record is seldom the right design choice, despite the trail of badly
designed protocols that attempted to argue otherwise.
The recent trend towards using an _underscore.domain model has provided a
scalable solution to the problem problem with TXT records, namely ambiguity.

The right hand side of a SRV record is a hostname, not an email address.
right.
If all that's needed is a one-bit "i support the standard reporting address",
that doesn't need an SRV, A, or MX. If what's needed is an email address then
that doesn't need any of those, either.
