(2) SSP record type (TXT vs. something new). Only 4
messages in discussion, mostly saying "if you support
TXT, don't bother with anything else." Again, no
clear consensus.
If a new RR can solve the wildcard issue and we feel that this is a significant
issue worth solving (or at least addressing) then perhaps we should create a
system that looks for a new RR first and failing that, falls back to TXT.
I don't think the "if you support TXT, don't bother with anything else" position is
correct. If we come out with a spec that states "SSP clients must query for new RR first,
then TXT" senders would be right to expect compliance. This frees senders to deploy the new
RR when they need and are able to do so. Until then, TXT.
