 Public keys stored in DNS records are much larger than DNS records

While DNS records are larger than average, this does not say much of value. How about being a bit more specific such as:

Due to the above average resources consumed by public keys, the number of separate keys should be kept proportional to what is required to authenticate physical sources within the domain. Excessive quantities of these public keys in DNS, when employed by an application as ubiquitous as email, may negatively impact DNS performance and stability.
