Section 3 of the draft appears to be commentary about what should go in TXT
records, or how things querying DNSxLs should query and interpret TXT
results.  This doesn't seem to be appropriate for a document about
Authentication-Results; it's implementation guidance for MTAs or receiving
agents.  About the only sentence I see in there that makes sense to include
that's relevant to a registration action is the one about encoding
non-ASCII content.
