Not really wanting to start a flame here but what about people that use
DNS hosting such as provided by Tucows, easyDNS and the like? These DNS
providers don't support PTR records in an easy way and hence a lot of
the smaller businesses may be unfairly targeted by policies such as this
(though it would appear that AOL is fairly responsible about it).

If they are brain damaged, then go somewhere else. For example www.xname.org does such support and support TXT entries... so you'll can be SPF compliant and host .arpa zones to be AOL / PTR compliant.

BTW: www.xname.org is free, so use it...
