This was actually what was originally proposed, but it received a lot
of resistance.  Meng moved the TXT record after it became clear that
most SPF publishers would not be using a in-addr.arpa/DNSBL type tree
to list the servers that are authorized.  Originally, this tree was
hard coded into that domain name.


Maybe Meng can address the reasons for the change more clearly, but as
far as I'm concerned, this isn't a major issue and breaking backward
compatibility at this point in time would not be a good idea.
