The stanford.edu example is useful, only because they don't show up in

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" ?
The token is supposed to encode N random bits, so pick a value of 1/(2^N)
that you think is close enough to zero. For these purposes, it's hard to
imagine a plausible scenario where someone is deliberately trying to spoof
a token with wildcards, so a small N should be fine.
Don't forget that last question, if it's a tagged name that is supposed to
be unique and you get junk records, try to pick out the good ones or give
up? My preference would be to give up on the theory that it is not our
job to work around your broken software.
