This was discussed and at the FTC meeting. The view there was that should be
no new RR and that any new RR will be ignored. The TXT record is final and
will not be revised.

I don't remember such discussions at the FTC summit, but then, many
people did not speak into the mics and I could not hear them.  Which
panel session did this discussion take place in?


IETFers like Peter Koch were extremely vocal about it, asking 
for no TXT records at all and just the new record, 
disclaiming installed base as either inexistant or 
unimportant. 

Well he is wrong.

Hard to refute such powerful and logically constructed arguments...


These two questions did not seem to be a stopper for most 
people. The WG should formally review the DNS part of the 
draft now if the "SPF community" ask it to do so.

Please save yourselves the effort. The standards will be ratified in another
venue shortly.

Uh, can you elaborate on this?  Oasis?

Of course, the cool thing about standards is that there are so many to
choose from.
