This draft mentions the posibility of requiring a new resource record

the idea is possibly deployment exclusively in the new RR type.

If it's the latter, I think that this would be an extraordinarily bad
idea. In my opinion, if this protocol is going to require a new RR type
to go forward, it will never get deployed.

Recommend a new requirement that the protocol MUST NOT depend solely on a
new DNS RR type just so there won't be any confusion on this.

I would suggest that whatever approach SSP uses be consistent with what
has been done with the base protocol.

+1.
