the "11" is the "length indicator", the RDATA being 11 long.

Ahem. TXT records are a sequence of PASCAL-style strings, each
preceded by its own length octet.  So the above blob is not a valid
RDATA part of a TXT RR.

Part of the packet, dumped using tcpdump:

        0x0040:  2400 0b76 3d73 7066 3120 2d61 6c6c c00c  $..v=spf1.-all..

The representation above may seem odd, the data seems to be OK.
