+ * requires quoting according to the rules in RFC822 then the
+ * local-part is quoted in double quotes, which end at the next
+ * unescaped double quote. (\ is the escape char, and is doubled, and
+ * is used to escape only \ and ".) Otherwise the local-part is

+ * Currently only IPv4 is supported.
+ *
+ * Text strings (as in adns_rr_txt) appear inside double quotes, and

+ * addresses enclosed in ( and ). If the result was a permanent

+ * appears (which a space in between). For example, one of the NS
+ * records for greenend.org.uk comes out like
