That being the case, requiring that ADSP records always start with

Well, maybe.  There's plenty of other ways a record can be ill-formed.

*.foo.example TXT "dkim=none dkim=discard"
*.foo.example TXT "dkim=a total crock nobody is gonna use"
Of course I didn't mean to imply that checking the first five bytes of 
the ADSP record was going to guarantee validity of the rest of it.  The 
key word in my statement above was "unintended".
