My proposal to add more informative notes to help minimize this for

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.
I agree, more generally, that the DKIM spec can't tell people the
right way to manage their DNS records. DKIM already separates its TXT
records with the "_domainkey" identifier, as SPF does with _spf. If,
given that separation, people still merge the TXT records and whatnot,
that problem's well beyond the scope of our work to fix.
I appreciate the desire to put more information in there to help, but
we really can't be writing a tutorial on managing DNS records.
