Has anyone tried publishing non-DNS information via DNS? Advantages:

I know SPF uses this, and clamav publishes their current version
number this way, but has anyone done this on a large scale basis?
Someone needs to invent and promote a TextualDatagramPublicationProtocol
or TDPP because DNS has been abused for publishing non DNS data for too
long. Continuing to use DNS for things it was never intended to do will
only cloud the issue and delay implementation when the internet decides
to take DNS security seriously.
Just my two cents.
