No.
1) Inconsistent with SPF RR that doesn't use a prefix
We could move the RR into the same address space.
2) Causes deployment headaches for those who use
DNS providers whose web-based tools cannot handle
sub-domains or underscore characters.
I don't know how wide spread that would be. Based on the comments on the
lists, there are already issues with TXT records and provider support.
Collissions with other TXT records worry me more which is why I would
rather see a prefix or use SRV. I can almost bet you that within a year
of MARID someone else will use us as precedent for another RR/TXT
experiment.
