When I look for docs on the internet, I get two answers( 3 actually)
a) no they are current,
b) they have been dropped,
c) articals that only discuss TXT records
a) + b) are usually more recent, c) can be any age.
And just to make life a little more interesting, the Bind9 log show an
entry "general: warning: zone klam.ca/IN/external: 'klam.ca' found

Not a life or death issue, just a confusing!

Support for use of DNS Type SPF (99) was dropped from RFC 7208, the recently
published standards track update to RFC 4408.
Further discussion would be on topic on spf-help or spf-discuss. See
www.openspf.org/Forums for subscription information.
Thanks the info on the SPF forums. I will take a look there when I have
a minute.
