If that is your use case, I also see no point in ANAME being used by
resolvers, and you should just create the new XFR type for this, so that
AUTH servers can update their A/AAAA records without needing any
recursive DNS protocol changes. Because what you seem to want is a
method for updating some information between two AUTH servers.

Maybe if A and SRV could be returned in the same query they would, so
that leads back to generic support for multi-type queries (with I guess
_location support) being a better generic solution to the problem
compared to this ANAME draft that builds a validating recursive resolver
into any authoritative server.
