Let's be very clear here: not every DNS provider has the ability to do TXT records either. Those small businesses, etc, should either pressure their
providers or vote with their feet.


1. Initial DKIM deployment relies upon support of DNS TXT records.  We either
accept that or we start over.  Hence, any discussion of non-support of TXT
records strikes me as counter-productive.

2. How does support for TXT records affect the current discussion about
Author-vs-Operator domain name, used for signing and assessment?
Dave. I'm merely pointing out that lack of support by some DNS providers
for NS records is not a good argument since many/most do not support
using TXT records either.
