Sigh.

Seems a waste of time to me. What is the "generation time", what does it mean 
and what does that digit string represent? [OK, it's some sort of timestamp, 
but which?] Why would anyone care or need to know about this? And surely that 
generation time could be encoded in the SOA serial number anyway.

IMO the operators of this TLD should have got a type code assignment for this 
thing rather than overload the TXT record yet again. No matter. If it makes the 
operators of .kiwi happy, leave them to it. It's their train set after all and 
they get to choose how to play with it.
