Re: [dnsext] SRV prefix registry

Actually Dave is doing two things, one that is covered by 6335 and another
which is subtly different, he is trying to ground the fact that underscore
prefix DNS names are used to apply attributes to the base name.

The defacto position is that underscore prefix names are attributes bound
to a node rather than being distinct nodes in their own right. This is
something that the application layer would like to see caching resolvers
aware of at a minimum.
