It's inconvenient to use TXT records, because they are not specific to the 
purpose.   If the user wants TXT records on the name for some *other* purpose 
than marking the name with a DHCID, it doesn't work.

We aren't defining a new protocol - just a new RRtype.   The DNSEXT working 
group passed this through last call.   The only reason we're not yet using it 
is that, well, it's been very slow getting the entire package through last 
call, as witness this current conversation.

I appreciate that you like an opportunity to pontificate about DNSSEC, and am 
duly amused that you saw one here and leapt upon it.   However, those of us 
who have been working on standardizing a method by which DHCP servers may 
interoperate while maintaining DNS records for DHCP clients, for the past 
decade, would appreciate it if you would leave off it in this case.   This 
protocol has absolutely nothing to do with DNSSEC, other than that, like 
DNSSEC, it is related to the DNS.

Thanks.
