Well, heck, we could do the whole DNS with TXT records. But if it were a TXT record, it'd either need a reserved prefix name or a reserved string in the record to say what it is. As Mark noted, that makes calculating the hash a lot more fiddly. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
