you put an A record there then you have to be able to accept inbound
mail at that machine even if it's supposed to be your "web" server. MX
isn't the only way of controlling mail: it's a relatively "new" thing

far as mail is concerned and it's still allowed to deliver mail to host
specified by and A record.
Actually the "implicit MX" rule only applies if there are no MX
records present (RFC 5321, section 5.1).
