Well, in a pedantic sense I'm sure that's true. But it doesn't need to
update RFC2782 as it pertains to anything but the ability to locate a
certain subset of NFS-based services. It certainly doesn't have to
change how SRV works with respect to other protocols.

That's trivially true for all protocol variations - they're all as local as you define them.

But again if that's your goal - a ships-in-the-night variant - you should consider doing declaring a new RR type. That's the point of the RR type - to indicate when the interpretation of an RR changes.
