They're all DNSSEC related so how about _dnssec-signal ?

It's not but _signal is an awfully generic term, and I do not want to
count on people inventing sufficiently distinct second level _label
names to keep unrelated uses separate.

When we were collecting names for the _label registry there were a
few places with overlapping names like the URI RRTYPE, and it's
a mess.  Let's not do it again.

R's,
