Technically, that's a lossy conversion as tinydns-data's TXT line
syntax doesn't allow you to control how a string is split into chunks.
 E.g., your script would convert "foo" "bar" into "foobar", and I
think DNSSEC validation would then fail if you tried to apply it to
the resulting record.

That said, all uses of TXT records that I know of effectively
concatenate the string chunks anyway, so they're semantically
equivalent.
