And you are certainly correct for the short term, and probably correct for at
least a couple years
to come.
The IETF "namedroppers" won't care about our personal believes,
they have their own religion, and in this religion (ab)using
TXT is blasphemy. And because that's true to a certain degree
you just can't do it, unless you intend to commit net suicide.
Precisely. It would be a shame if the draft gets nix'd not for a good reason
but because DNS people
vetoed a component of it (no accomodation for future RR record allocation)
It doesn't hurt us to put in reference to RR usage in the future (right?)
