the latest version of the draft has:

I suppose I'm the only one worrying about this, but.... I'd be much happier with:

        spf-config.domain.com IN TXT "v=spf1..."
or
        policy.spf-config.domain.com IN TXT "v=spf1..."

I'm quite concerned that putting TXT records at the top level of the domain means that we have to be certain that SPF TXT records are always siftable from other TXT records. While it seems likely that "v=spf1" at the start of the TXT record is a good tag, it isn't part of any standard or RFC, so there really is no guarantee. Putting the main policy under SPF's only sub-domain keeps things tidy, and ensures it'll never conflict.
