Notice that for testspf2.bmsi.com, the records differ only
in the case of 'A'.  Should that be an error?  :-)

Yesterday they sent a "proposed standard" to its "last call"
as "draft standard", see <http://purl.net/net/rfc/3597>

If you think that this statement in RfC 3597 is wrong, now is
the time to say so... ;-)
