I was also going to mention that.  There's a lot of different formats for 
zone file data, with BIND-ish master files being only one of them.

Last month I ran into a guy on the dmarc list who complained that 
his server returns NOTIMP in response to queries for SPF records ("because 
it doesn't implement them") and clients were doing odd things.  But it's 
been a long time since I've run into anyone else like that, so I agree, 
it's not an issue.

I'm not aware of problems, but I don't use Windows which is where the 
problems are supposed to be.
