Extensibility, per se, is desirable. But, given that MARID WG is
supposed to a "quick hit" effort, on a short time scale for that
reason, I am not convinced that extensibility is a realistic
(primary) goal. Don't avoid it, but don't reach for it.
The TXT RR is being favored by the group for expediency, against the
architectural sensibilities of (at least some) DNS protocol experts.
I think that the expediency argument holds more water if the solution
derived in this group targets the immediate problem with an
immediately focused solution, rather than being too concerned with
extensibility.
I find it odd that some would like to retain support for two
different syntax's, yet resist proposing a new RR while maintaining
the TXT RR for transition.
