We should not allocate a MARID record type (surprise!)

We should contact the DNS crew and cooperate with them
to invent a new generic binary container RR type, not
specific to MARID.

Huh.  I hadn't thought about that for a binary record.

I had thought that the DNS folks should allocate something like 10
generic TXT records in the RR type range of 0-255 and another 100 in
the range of 256-65536.  People would be free to pick and choose
whichever one they wanted with far less chance of collisions.
