that's why I said "unfortunately" when referring to the "_" requirement
in RFC 2782. While I understood and support the motivation for the "_"
escape, the particular way the RR type is specified there is a bit misleading.
RR types should be defined for owner names in general, not for specific
labels or set of labels. This does, however, not mean, that certain applications
(as in: usage scenarios) for an RR type could not restrict its usage.
