I suspect one of the problems here is that in the universe of mediocrity that is the underlying infrastructure upon which applications that use the DNS rely, you have a bell curve of sorts of what works and what doesn't.  As a result, when you get into arguments about whether a protocol feature can be used, people can trot out the 5 sigma extremes and say e.g., "see, doesn't work - we have to use TXT". They're not necessarily wrong, but it does suggest that the ossification of the DNS is pretty much complete...
