You know, it's interesting to consider what we'd be doing
now if TXT had never existed in the first place. The
arguments for a new RRtype would be much more compelling,
but we'd still look for workarounds that didn't need a new
RRtype.
I'm guessing an SRV lookup against DOMAIN.COM with a
reserved port number would return a domain name, something
like MARID-RECORD.DOMAIN.COM, and then something like
http://marid-record.domain.com/marid-record.txt
http://marid-record.domain.com/marid-record.xml
Or maybe instead of an SRV lookup, we'd do an MX query
against an underscore subdomain ...
