This is an interesting situation.
I actually think that we've probably got this wrong!
We should not ever do rt=brski.jp.
We should be doing instead rt=brski*, as you say, because it's the rv/vs/es
that we really are looking for.   So it should look like:

~~~~
  REQ: GET coap://[FF02::FD]/.well-known/core?rt=brski*

  RES: 2.05 Content
  <coaps://[2001:db8:0:abcd::52]:join-port/.well-known/brski/rv>;rt=brski.rv;ct=836,
  <coaps://[2001:db8:0:abcd::52]:join-port/.well-known/brski/vs>;rt=brski.vs;ct="50 60",
  <coaps://[2001:db8:0:abcd::52]:join-port/.well-known/brski/es>;rt=brski.es;ct="50 60",
~~~~

It would be nice if we could get back:
  <coaps://[2001:db8:0:abcd::52]:join-port/.well-known/est/sren>;ct=287

as well, but I don't know how/if we can ask for rt=est* as well as rt=brski*
in a single operation.  This is in section 6.1.1 of the -12.

Maybe we just don't need brski.jp *AT ALL*
The Join Proxy should answer as if it was the Registrar, with coaps: at the front.
