given the nature of the TXT RR, in particular the RDATA field, I presume it is the path of prudence to set the barrier to registration in this new IANA registry to be -VERY- low. Or is the intent to create a "two" class system, registered and unregistered types? /bill On 30August2013Friday, at 6:35, John C Klensin wrote: > Hi. > > Inspired by part of the SPF discussion but separate from it, > Patrik, Andrew, and I discovered a shortage of registries for > assorted DNS RDATA elements.
