[dnsext] SRV prefix registry

[Phillip Hallam-Baker <[e-mail]>]

One piece of unfinished business that really should be cleared up before
DNSEXT closes is the lack of an IANA registry for SRV prefixes.

This is now a big problem because people have been taking maters into their
own hands. I did for SAML and XKMS. There are many thousand SRV prefixes in
use. They should be recorded 'somewhere'.


I can write up a short draft if there is interest.

As a practical matter the registry will have to be 'first come first
served' for the second tier names at least. Perhaps an expert review for
proposals to introduce a new group (_tcp, _udp, _port ... ).

The same registry would be shared across all prefixed protocols.
