You must know a different set of DNS hosters than I do. It's vanishingly rare to find one that lets you insert random records via the provisioning software. You can go looking for ones you like, but good luck. For the vast majority of DNS users, it's a feature that they can't install random crud, not a bug. This is why I keep saying over and over again that it would be nice if we made it easier for them to handle new RRTYPEs in a way that makes it harder to shoot yourself in the foor than allowing random hex strings.
