 As it appears their implementation is not compliant with RFC1464 (I did

RFC 1464 clearly says "Experimental".
TXT is defined RFC 1035 (or so says RFC 1464).

Yeah - for that reason, it's not a "problem" for ISC. It's not really a problem for MARID either in that it's unlikely that there'd ever be a conflict. I raised it only as an example that MARID would have a hard time "co-opting" the TXT RR for it's use because there are prior uses of it by others - and in unregistered but RFC-compliant ways.
