In previous message on this list Andrew Newton reported 2000 published DK policy records. How many are used is different question though...

I believe the number was 1855. But this is a preliminary number. I'm still bug hunting in the code.

However, one of the issues that shows up is that there is no easy way to determine that a TXT record is DK. And trust me, there are quite a few SPF records that are in wildcards. Being able to test for v=DKIM1 at the beginning would be very helpful. Though parsing the TXT record to see if it is syntax compatible with DK is pretty easy, I suspect that there may be situations where something other than DK syntax is interpreted as such. After all, people put HTML in qnames and seeing an MX point to 127.0.0.1 is common.
