Now, last I checked, nothing stops a DNS implementation from 
returning a "default" record.  That's not the same as a 
wildcard record as wildcard semantics are clearly defined in 
RFC 1034 4.3.2.  What I'm talking about could be 
implementation-specific, for example in BIND 9-speak:

zone "example.com." {
      type master;
      file "forward/example.com.dns";
      if (query == TXT && record == FALSE)
              record = (whatever a "deny" is);
};


Sure. This is one of reasons subdomains must be used.
if (query == TXT && record == FALSE) {
  if(request.startWith("spfv1."))
      record = (whatever a "SPF1 deny" is);
  if(request.startWith("_ep."))
      record = (whatever a "Sender-ID deny" is);           
  if(request.startWith("_VOUCH._SMTP."))
      record = (whatever a "DNA deny" is);           
}

or for example using DNS proxy then new record type adopted:

if(request.startWith("spfv1.")) {
      query = RMX;
      retry();
}
