[cabfpub] CAA records on google.com

google.com is now serving two CAA[1] records:

$ dig +short -t TYPE257 google.com
\# 19 0005697373756573796D616E7465632E636F6D
\# 23 0009697373756577696C6473796D616E7465632E636F6D

These correspond (I hope) to "issue" and "issuewild" records with a
value of "symantec.com". We are not aware of any CA that looks for
these records yet but we believe that, reasonably implemented, CAA is
a low-cost, modest-benefit technique and this is a public show of
support.
