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.
I don't think I am suggesting to get into the bad DNS managements
tools. But the section is short on what are possible error issues.
One of them is making sure other TXT records don't conflict. I think
that can be a general, generic statement that does not get into poor
DNS management tools implementation.
