You seem to think that deploying a new RRTYPE with unusual additional
processing is a "possibility". If the goal is deployment in a
reasonable time, it's not. We can certainly get the RRTYPE, but
additional processing quirks make this all more complicated and quite
a bit more serious for a DNS server. I think you should expect
universal deployment of DNSSEC _and_ IPv6 prior to this scheme being
widely-enough adopted to be really useful. That's why John thinks
it's a distraction; I have to agree.
