I am sending my third and final message of the day, in order to express
support for Hadmut's suggestion of a binary encoding. I think this is a
good idea, and I believe it combines the best of various worlds
(extensibility, economy, etc).
Perhaps rather than just a single new record type, consider defining a
structure composed of new elements where each element is a record type.
1) An address type for CIDR notation for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
2) Inverse of the SRV record having a 16 bit field for encoding the
protocol being authorized and a name type used to return referenced CIDR
notation. Add to this a 16 bit field to declare policy information.
Allow the protocol field to be used as a selection field. (Redefine
Class perhaps.)
3) A type of PTR record to build external reference lists with a
matching protocol field to the inverse SRV record also for selection.
This would allow these new records to find greater use than just for
MARID.
