So why not two-stage the development process in order to "get it right?"
Phase in the initial TXT records, but write the draft stating that it
will (er, should?) be migrate to new SPF RR records. Over time, it
can be migrated to real RR records then.
I fear that if we do it that way, the migration will never happen :-).
That's true. If it becomes an official RFC the neccessary RR's can be assigned
simultaneously. Hence the real RFC should only talk about this new RR.
The TXT mechanism should be limited to pre-RFC trials. That way, the RFC
publication date automatically becomes the sunset date for TXT records.
If SPF never gets RFC status, well then we continue with TXT records in
perpetuity.
