One of the key messages in RFC 5507 is that one should have a selector of what 
RR you want in the triple {owner, type, class} and not as part of the RDATA.

This document is about creating a registry for the selectors that obviously are 
needed *IF* one have structured data in the RDATA part of the TXT resource 
record type.

Two very different things indeed.
