To fix it is recomended that all references to SPF dns record type and

such dns type records should confront to SPF2.0 or later records. So above

example.com. IN SPF "spf2.0/pra +mx +a:colo.examp.e.com/28 -all"
This would have the potential of creating *exactly* the same dataspace
problems as stuffing all the different versions in a TXT record, and would
IMO be a bad engineering decision.
I disagree. First of this field is the same no matter how its called, so
potential is exactly the same. Second, I do not believe version number
identifier belongs in the dns type name, this is exactly the bad
engineering decision. But if you want to put it then, then you should
remove it from the data portion field and get rid of dupliction.
