Besides consuming about 3 times as much space, what does this really buy? IMHO 'human-readable' data formats are over-rated when their consumers are all automated processes.

A significant stakeholder is in favour of using an XML encoding for SPF.

How do you guys feel about that?

  "v=spf1 a:192.0.2.0 mx -all"

would be

  <ep xmlns='http://spf.info/1'>
    <out>
      <m>
        <a>192.0.2.0</a>
      </m>
      <m/>
    </out>
  </ep>

In DNS, it would be

"<ep xmlns='http://spf.info/1'><out><m><a>192.0.2.0</a></m><m/></out></ep>"
