Hello,

It's difficult, some might say impossible, to get agreement on 
draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis.  I would like to ask each of you, and 
anyone else, to provide your opinion about the following:

RFC 5507 primarily raises three concerns about TXT records:

   1.  The data in TXT is unstructured and subject to 
misinterpretation by other
       applications.

   2.  Wildcard issues.

   3.  Size issues.

The draft addresses (3) by discussing size considerations, and 
tangentially addresses (1) in Section 3.4.

I would like to ask everyone not to turn this into a debate by not 
discussing about the opinion stated by someone else.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy (as document shepherd)
