No mention of _kerberos TXT in RFCs / but we have DNSSEC now

[Rick van Rein]

Hello all,

Based on the responses in this thread, I have drafted a proposal for TXT records, and posted it to Kitten.

Any feedback on this is welcome and helpful; but Kitten is probably the best place for it.

Thanks,
 -Rick
