This was discussed at some length back around the Toronto IETF
and I made a suggestion that seemed to garner fairly wide support,
i.e., selecting a single RRset from the ANY response and returning
only that.  See:

  https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg13945.html

...and its followups. Is there a reason you decided not to go in
that direction?  (I'd be happy to contribute text if you like.)

The new proposal to return an empty HINFO record has the advantage of
a smaller response, but will be inconvenient for DNSSEC-signed zones,
unless the server has access to the signing key and can generate a
covering RRSIG. This should be mentioned in security considerations.

The pick-one-RRset mechanism doesn't have this problem, because
the covering RRSIG will already exist for whichever RRset is
returned.
