I know section 3.6.2.1 has this informative note:

This is just to jump start suggested text. Others can add/change
whether they think helps:
The DKIM public key TXT record MUST not be mixed or merged
with other TXT records, i.e. SPF. In addition, make sure other
TXT records with Wildcards do not conflict with DKIM public
key lookups.
That text adds a requirement in an informative note.
My proposal to add more informative notes to help minimize this for
the systems with the lack of DNS admin expertise on board. In
particular for those with currently one existing need for a TXT record
and that is SPF and incorrectly believe since its a TXT record, adding
the DKIM public key data to it will work.
There is an assumption that people managing DNS zones will have a
basic understanding of DNS. I don't think that the DKIM
specification should get into badly designed GUIs.
RFC 4871 discusses about DNS in various sections. Unfortunately,
there is no reference to the DNS specifications.
