I agree, MARID can't claim the TXT RR for it's own.
FWIW, there's been an interesting little thread on SPF problems caused by
non-SPF stuff in TXT here:
http://archives.listbox.com/spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com/200406/0697.html
If you read that thread, you will find:
1) It is not clear *what* the cause of the problem is. Despite my
attempts, I have not been able to recreate the problem.
2) If anything, it appears that the problem was caused by *long* TXT
records, rather than a conflict with another SPF record.
3) Out of spec implementations will always be a problem and has
nothing to do with the theoretical nor practical use of TXT records
by SPF.
