Are there indications of confusion causing notable issues that need to
be addressed?
I'm working on a draft (draft-davids-forsalereg) in which TXT records
play an essential role. To avoid ambiguity I ended up dedicating an
entire section (5.2) to character encoding.
For reference, you can try 'example.nl' here:
https://forsalereg.sidnlabs.nl/demo
or here:
https://forsale.bitfire.nl/
While building the validators, I noticed that most tools and libraries
implicitly assume UTF-8. That made me wonder: is anyone still using
anything other than ASCII or UTF-8 for TXT record content? Given the
long history of DNS, I don't want to assume such cases don't exist.
I'd be interested in hearing about any real-world examples.
