Good recommendation, I wish more domain owners followed them, but Unicode quotes in examples for DNS TXT record is bad: TXT “v=spf1 -all” should be TXT "v=spf1

Good recommendation, I wish more domain owners followed them, but Unicode quotes in examples for DNS TXT record is bad: TXT “v=spf1 -all” should be TXT "v=spf1 -all" instead. I see a lot of broken SPF records where instead if ASCII hyphen (-) some other symbol is used e. g. en-dash (–) or em-dash (—). Probably admins just copy-paste an examples from a web pages like this.

The actual TXT record shouldn't have the quotes at all.

  Quotes are from the bind zone file syntax (the same format used in most DNS servers). It is not very well documented in bind ARM, but can be found in RFC1035.
