Actually for most dns software they are not supported and treated just like
unknown record type. So we can reuse them but i'll be harder to push
through IETF and on implementation its same as unknown type.
P.S. I'm pretty certain Microsoft does not support MB/MD/MF/MG/MR, so
we'll probably hear objections right away now...

Some of these record types specify additional processing, some are
supposed to be rejected or converted to MX records, but both MG and MR
look like they might be useable.
Yes, I know, this is not a clean solution, but is an option that I
haven't seen mentioned yet and it *may* be less ugly than some of the
other solutions.
