I don't understand this statement.



Why should 

  _marid	   IN	TXT	"blabla"

be a subdomain and not supported while

  www	           IN   A       1.2.3.4

is a normal entry not causing a subdomain? Where's the difference?




I believe this is easier and more supported than placing the 
TXT record directly in the domain name. Not all interfaces support

	   IN TXT "..."
or
@	   IN TXT "..."

and many users don't understand that. A TXT record for _marid 
is plain, strait forward, and simple.
