Should we define a badly designed protocol just to workaround broken
firewall software? That's a joke...

Yes, the design is a joke. Of course the design is an error; but I've
made worse ones in simpler stuff, so I won't flame them.

However, we can put the information in TXT, and encode it the same way
we would for a new RR type. Should we? I think we should not, but if it
doesn't cost us much...

I'd rather see Microsoft fixing their stuff.
