Hi Andrew, folks,
 Does anyone actually use IRIS?
Telling someone to "go look over here for IRIS" seems like telling them 
everything has to be in XML (only squared).
DNS provisioning and lookup for TXT in "srv-like" sub-domains is easy and cheap 
(for implementers).
Provisioning, querying and parsing and IRIS data is not, I'd venture.

So ... is your comment "Why do that?" really meant as "Why make life easier for 
malcontents and spammers"?

all the best,
  Lawrence
