Er, so? If the tool to bundle up the needed bits for SPF-as-text and 
SPF-as-binary are similarly trivial, why should we care if people who want to 
use a feature of the Internet can't persuade their provider to make a trivial 
change.

Soon, y'all will be saying we should give up on DNSSEC because so few 
registrars support it in their web UIs.
