i'm thinking of old old bind and i'm thinking of windows nameservers.

so, top-level txt.
I dislike top level TXT records, too.
How sure is "pretty sure"? Has anyone tried to confirm
incompatibility with any specific version of any specific softwares.
And as for Windows nameservers... I've heard rumors that
Windows makes extensive use of SRV records for many of the services it
provides, and all SRV RRs have underscores in them. I'm not sure
which versions of Windows these rumors relate to, as I haven't used
Windows in years, and haven't been motivated to check.
