You did not have to. I still have them in. (As well as TXT records that almost look like them, but mostly are there to tickle parser bugs. ) I still get queries for SPF. Obviously "TXT as RRtype for SPF data" is a failure and needs to be re-deprecated. (No, I'm joking, but I wish I wasn't.) Type-squatting is bad for the Internet, and should be discouraged. And, Carthago should be destroyed. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE SA0XLR +46 705 989668 Yow!
