the SSP draft should mandate publishing MX records whenever an SSP

SSP (or ASP) have no business to "mandate" MX records, that's not
their job. MX records are not required for (2)821(bis)
interoperability, and RFC 2119 has a very clear policy about
arbitrary MUSTard.
The MUST only occurs in conjunction with publishing SSP records. This
does not mandate publishing of MX records when SSP is not used.
-1 to this proposal, for the reasons that Wietse and Frank have
mentioned. Furthermore, if the domain publishes an SSP record, the SSP
lookup algorithm never gets to the step that might benefit from the
publication of an MX record.
