That (your point) is true for any technology.  Usually the place to 
solve this is in the provisioning interface (the UI) and not the guts 
of the system.  In this case, the DNS already has the guts - unknown 
record type rules - and it is up to "you" to decide what to enter and 
what to extract from the type you want.

It's always been all about the user interface, perhaps the user user 
interface tells an application and the application uses an 
application interface - the same but with a level of indirection.

OTOH, maybe you want to dig up the old SINK RR history (never made it 
to RFC but has a type code reserved) - 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsind-kitchen-sink-02 .  I'm 
not raising that to be funny, maybe I and at least Paul are assuming 
more about the problem then you intend.

I'm overly entertained.
