Coming into this from the outside, the issues are interesting.
I originally thought RRTYPEs are scarce, since all the ones I was
aware of are less than 256. But it turns out that RRTYPEs are 16 bit
integers, and we've only consumed about 110 of them in ~25 years; we
have about 15,000 years' supply of them. So they can be handed out
rather generously.
There actually is a standard for allocating RRTYPEs, which is RFC 6195
(section 3.1). RRTYPEs are to be handed out rather freely.
Obsoleted by RFC 6895 but not too much change.
Thanks,
Donald
