I'd give them all a format of text and if a protocol needs something more
specific than that it can interpret it at the application level.
Publishing RRs requires proper formatting, though. In most cases,
tools could work equally well without knowing whether a type is
registered or not. They could rely upon symbolic specifications, see
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-levine-dnsextlang/ , leaving it
to sysadmins to install official specs.
