Maybe it is better to basically keep the existing inet:domain name for use e.g. in host names that appear in all kinds of non-DNS configuration, and leave the definition of a domain name type appropriate for use in DNS zone data etc. to DNSOP WG.

So my proposal is to only modify the description accordingly, and in particular remove the comment about the use in A/AAAA/SRV resource records, because the existing type isn't really suitable for this purpose.
