As explained in Dave's message:  The "label" approach does not work

a "tag" for the identification in the case of a shared record type

for the identification of a desired record in a RR set it would also
work for wildcards until the size issue for shared RR types kills it.

See<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-iab-dns-choices#section-3.1>
for an "authoritative" (from my POV) statement about these issues.
   

Ok, I understand what you're saying.  Then actually I agree with this 
logic, and this WAS where I was pondering whether we should move to a 
new RR type, but I don't know if it is sufficient justification.  As I 
was reminded, because other child labels would countermand an ADSP 
wildcard, it's not clear to me that wildcards truly buy anything in this 
case.  Am I missing something?
