    andrew.cmu.edu is giving you a reason to adjust SPF so the
main SPF TXT RR is at _spf.andrew.cmu.edu.

Indeed.  Andrew.cmu.edu has over 600 characters of TXT records and
that means that all SPF clients will have to fall back to TCP DNS and
then find that there isn't any SPF records anyway.

I'm at a friends house with ADSL. His ADSL router (supplied by his ISP), is
the DNS server for house network (it uses DHCP to assign IP's and it's self
as the DNS server).

It does *not* support TCP queries, i get:

jasper(_at_)jellycat:~/[0]> dig txt andrew.cmu.edu.
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> txt andrew.cmu.edu.
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; res_nsend: Protocol not supported

Assuming we want end users to be able to use SPF with

So thats another point for a dedicated spf subdomain of some kind, and an
advisory note in the RFC that the total length of the SPF TXT record should
be short enough so that the total size of the reply packet should be small
enough to fit in a DNS over UDP packet.
