Isn't this sending of bits to any participant of the Internet without
encumbrance the entire reason this effort exists? :)
Seriously, there appear to be two schools of thought on the meaning
of resource record type: that it merely indicates how the rdata bits
are organized, or that it indicates which application is to use the
rdata. Which is correct depends on the DNS expert you are asking and
on which day you ask. The truth is that neither view is incorrect.
Repurposing TXT is not such a problem, repurposing NS probably is.
From what I can see, DKIM is doing everything right. TXT is being
used but the DKK RR is also being defined and given preference.
