is that you believe that hosters will have a tough time managing
DomainKey-like DNS records. If this is indeed true, MARID must have

Ah. It wouldn't be specific to DomainKeys. The general sentiment was
that it was hard enough getting MX records pointing to the correct
place... adding any new record would be a pain.
I certainly felt that it had some merit. About a year ago I did a
total of scan of .net and found that nearly 10% of the records were
misconfigured, didn't have resolvable targets, or pointed to known
non-routable space. My scans this year seem to indicate the situation
has improved (though I never checked for 3330 space this time).
I didn't follow the MARID discussions -- was there a thread about this?
Does your quote generally summarize the discussion? Was this one of
the primary reasons there wasn't overall consensus in MARID?
The concern was largely ignored, though I think CSV actually addresses
the concern.
