In my opinion, it doesn't make any difference what format the new SPF
RR will be as it will never be widely used. In this case, I
completely agree with Phillip Hallam-Baker, Harry Katz, and Jim Lyon.
Why not declare the TXT record as the SPF1 record and add a new RR type MSG
for those who want to store a message. "SPF1" could be an alias for the TXT
RR type. For example:
Currently:
TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
TXT "No UCE allowed"
New:
TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
MSG "No UCE allowed"
or equivalent (same RR type number):
SPF1 "v=spf1 a mx -all"
MSG "No UCE allowed"
SPF version 2 and later MUST allocate a new record type for each version.
