I just submitted draft-levine-dnsextlang-07 which cleans up the ABNF and
adds a version tag to the DNS records.

I also set up rrtype.info with definitions of all of the existing
RRTYPEs that I think I can describe with the existing language.  Visit
http://www.rrtype.info for a link to some resources or try, e.g.

$ dig mx.rrtype.info txt

mx.rrtype.info.		7162	IN	TXT	"RRTYPE=1" "MX:15 Mail exchanger" "I2 Priority (lower values are higher priority)" "N[A,C] Host name"
