So the thought is to make the record available, but realize that it will
only get queried as clients get more capable.
In any event, having a specification that contains no "MUST" strikes me
as odd, since there is no identifiable core of functionality that is
guaranteed to be implemented. Such a guarantee is usually the basis for
IETF protocols being assured to work.
Why not:
SHOULD publish SPF2
MAY publish TXT
MUST publish at least one of the two.
