Yes, but why? :)
- jama211 1y agoFUN! And who knows, maybe this will lead to something later. Many discoveries or inventions were built on things people didn’t know the use of at the time.
- rvz 1y agoExactly.
- CaptainOfCoit 1y agoBetter question: Why not? :)
- HeckFeck 1y agoBecause I want my DKIM signatures to be literal signatures.
- rvz 1y agoWhy not? This is exactly what hackers and tinkerers do.
- boznz 1y agoQuestion can also be interpreted as "why does DNS even allow this" which is fair as it only purpose should be to convert a domain name address into a 32 bit number. The answer is partially in the link on TFA. I guess they had their reasons.
- pixl97 1y agoI mean DNS has had different record types for as long as I can remember, txt records in specific allowed the protocol to be extensible without everyone having to update their software to support new record types. And that also leaves out the common things like MX records.
