Hi, Ben: In your draft, the reason for not using TXT is given as:
2.1.3. Using TXT We could encode this information in a TXT record, but that would violate the intended purpose of TXT records: to convey information to human readers. I'm not sure if it's true that TXT records are intended only for human consumption. TXT RRs contain "descriptive text" where "[t]he semantics of the text depends on the domain where it is found". If you define "where the domain is found" as, e.g., domains like _443._tcp._sni.www.example.com, then you get to define the semantics of what is described by the TXT record at that location. I think DKIM is an example of a protocol that uses this kind of scheme with TXT records. -- Robert Edmonds _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
