I'm sorry this question didn't get answered sooner.

There seems to be some level of consensus settling around using PTR for
_kerberos.fqdn to point to a realm name, with the concordant implications
for the case of the realm name.  Since that is using a existing DNS record
type and making backward-incompatible changes to the Kerberos standard, it
seems to fit best as a kitten WG document.  (It is not really appropriate
for individual submissions to make changes to Proposed Standards with
still-extant working groups.)  As was noted a couple times, it would be
fine to do an Informational document describing the currently-in-use TXT
records as an individual submission, since there is less of a restriction
on that case.  It could also be done in kitten, if there is energy for it,
but since there hasn't been energy for the past 10 (?) years, it seems
unlikely there will be any now.
