Multiple TXT records

Hello, can I nitpick and ask what the point of this paragraph is?

   If multiple explanation TXT records are returned, they are
   concatenated in the order they were received.  Use of multiple TXT
   records is discouraged as DNS does not guarantee order.

I think if multiple TXT records are returned, all but the first should be 
ignored.  Surely we don't want to encourage >64K of SPF data?  Regarding 
Lee's suggestion:

I don't like it, I think this can be handled on the server within a single 
record without complicating SPF any further (do I sound like a broken record 
yet? :) ).

cheers,
