What _port._protocol would one store the SMIME information under?

If only we had decided not to use protoport prefixing....

Now we could say, store it _like_ the TLSA record at _smimecert. But
technically speaking, that is no longer a TLSA record, which
uses _port._protocol prefixing.

We'll get more of these type of records, we might as well allocate
a new RR for this one too.
