Whether the name in the DNS record should be brisbane or

current text is correct.

I see no reason to change it, suggest closing the ticket.

Not everyone uses your unstated $ORIGIN line format, nor knows what it 
is nor even is given a clue is to be presumed when its not even 
mentioned in the section.

The fact is, for the the ZONE files I see Windows DNS servers, the 
public key record will be shown in the subdomain format:

brisbane._domainkey   TXT ("v=DKIM1; p=...")

So if the section can not be generic to cover all bases, "Being 
Specific is terrific!"
