Could someone with Copious Free Time (probably meaning someone not
attending the meeting :) please do an experiment and try publishing a
MARID type record using existing but relatively up to date DNS server
software? And post a commentary on the process and what you learned
along the way. For purposes of this experiment, allocate yourself a
new RRtype preferably in the experimental space. Getting to the point
where a dig returns an SPF record but with rrtype=MARID would be a
win.
