Sorry if that last one came across as dismissive.
Until such time, I'd personally prefer to see some explicit notion that the odd history of the SPF TXT record should not be seen as a precedent and best practice, rather than hope that this is implicit.
I'd have thought that the debate here and elsewhere already documented that. Since it's not specific to SPF, perhaps we could do a draft on "overloaded TXT considered harmful" to get it into the RFC record.
