I was wondering the same thing earlier, but forgot to chime in about it.

What is the rationale for using "the same definition as the TXT record" for
a new RR type?

In practice applications that use TXT records (like SPF and DKIM) specify
that they must concatenate all the up-to 255 character strings in the TXT
RDATA before use.

Why should a new RR-type be constrained in this way? It should define its
RDATA components to be as large as they need to be.

Shumon.
