I agree.  A new RR is the right solution, but the situation argues for a
tradeoff.  How about TXT now and a new RR type later?  I think most
people would rather see spam stop today than in four years.

It's not a necessary tradeoff.  Unless I've complletely misread the code, 
nothing in BIND 9 prevents it from setting up and querying arbitrary RR
types.
