to admit that I don't look at a lot of selectors.
    

I have.  Also s=mail, s=mx, s=mta23, s=domainkeys, and other strings
that our more-or-less human brains might want to interpret as carrying
additional meaning.

I haven't, however, seen any indication that those strings were chosen
with the intention of also having s=usenet, s=rss, s=sip,
s=antidisestablishmentarianism, or other indicators that a specific
selector would be used solely for non-email purposes.
  

Are you perhaps confusing s= in the signature (selector name) with s= in 
the key record (service type)?  It's the latter that we're discussing.
