nothing prevents a server from answering A with AAAA as additional data,
or answering AAAA with A as additional data. there can be no delegation
point between rrtypes at a single node, so poisoning isn't to be feared.
the RRSIGs for additional data can be included just as when A/AAAA
additional data is included with MX, SRV, or NS.

i'd like to see this done. it would not require an internet-draft, or if
one existed, it would be an FYI nor STD.
