It will be more useful to make strategic decisions based on
technical and political considerations than run a popularity poll.
These strategic decisions should be based on what SPF is trying to
achieve and how that might best be accomplished.
I agree, but the poll was nevertheless interesting, because it
underlines one of the main reasons not to use XML: it's unpopular.
We need to make sure, that there is a non-XML way of publishing an SPF
record for those, who want to type in their SPF records manually into
the DNS servers.
We can also have an extra XML-based data format for SPF records. This
adds some extra work to the implementations, but since only very few
people care about how the code looks, it's not a big problem.
Having two data formats makes Microsoft happy, it makes SPF people
happy and it makes it possible to merge CID and SPF.
