	SPF's format of the SPF record is horrendous.  For example,
	starting the record def. with "v=spf1" without thinking that maybe
	it might have been smarter to generalise on a format to _use_ TXT to
	store things like SPF (i.e., say have "SPF: v=1" or something like that).

	I don't think it will bother them at all.

	Seriously, I use TXT records to include information about what
	this zone is used for.
