Why should we try to fix bugs on broken provisioning software? We 
should, instead, encourage users to ask their providers or software 
vendors to Do The Right Thing.

SPF record is The Right Thing. TXT spf-like record is an ugly hack, even 
if it is widely supported.

While we can not go against the river flow, we should try to direct it, 
on the long run, to the proper place.
