Subject: [domainrep] A sentence that confuses me

In draft-kucherawy-reputation-query-dns-00, we have this:

   In line with [DNS-EXPAND], the TXT resource record type is used for
   this application.

But RFC 5507 says this:

   We'll show how such a designer almost inevitably hits upon the idea
   of just using a TXT Resource Record, why this is a bad thing, and why
   a new Resource Record Type should be allocated instead.

How can these statements be reconciled?
