The reality is that many smaller domain owners rely on their ISP or some
other service provider to deal with the "under-the-hood" stuff. The
cname suggestion is interesting but I haven't had time to think it
through.
I've done this with some customers. As long as:
1. Their DNS provider supports it.
2. They don't mess it up.
it works fine.
From my limited experience, most DNS providers support TXT now, but the
underscore is often problematic. I've had more than one problem with "Not a
valid hostname" errors. Of course that's correct, but misses the point that
not all domain names are host names. I expect that in time this will change.
The biggest problem is getting non-technical domain owners to correctly
publish the CNAME.
