I think this makes sense, but I think it would make more sense if there was

This sort of thing has been proposed before. It turns out that
anything in the DNS that starts "all names below this node ..." is
astonishingly hard to implement.
(Yes, I know about zone cuts.)
It is easy to do the opposite, though. For example, having
leila.iecc.com TXT "v=spf1 redirect=iecc.com"
would enable receivers, at the cost of an extra lookup, to infer
that iecc.com is in the same administrative domain of that mailer, for
reputation or reporting purposes.
Aren't there generic (i.e. non spf-specific) DNS conventions for
publishing such relationships?
