It is kind of backwards. 

Fighting the use of TXT records for various function would be a life-time struggle.

Hi Anne-Marie!

I too was unaware of any conventions for doing this in the _DNS_, but I
_am_ aware of the prolific abuse of TXT records for various and sundry
kitchen-sink-like purposes, so your words didn't surprise me at all.

If you _do_ find signs of this type of data being put into the DNS,
please share them with me.

For anyone who thinks that using TXT records to solve your custom
problem is a quick and simple solution, think again. Or contact me, and
I'll drag you out of that misconception ... And mind you: new record
types are dirt cheap, and very easy to create and register. 😉

               Cheers,
                 /Liman

Hej,

Jag har en fråga till alla DNS-gurus i världen. Det har ju dykt upp en

del saker som man kan stoppa in i dns, som security.txt och

robots.txt. Det senaste jag hör de var om llm.txt. Finns det och hur

övertygar man en AI om att respektera respektive kringgå en sådan? Hur

många txt finns det i världen. Liman och andra, som försvarat dns från

onödig börda genom åren, hur ser ni på det?

Många hälsningar,

Anne-Marie
