The stanford.edu example is useful, only because they don't show up in those alexa top-1000(000) lists. Like I am sure many here have, I dumped the TXT records to the top 1000 and while the majority use the format "token=value", there are several that use the "token:value" format. I wonder if there should be some suggestions for "long enough token value" ? tim > Regards, > John Levine, jo...@taugh.com, Taughannock Networks, Trumansburg NY > Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly >
