The reason I talked you out of it, is that I wanted the query-domain for
client TLSA records to be the same as the SRV-ID.  Injecting a sub-domain
makes it more difficult to use the names in question if SRV-ID is
what's in the certificate.

Using the SRV-ID as the query domains is not an absolute requirement, but
it is a simplification that should not be discard too lightly.  Trade-off
judgement call...
