[dnsext] RRTYPE request for NINFO

[Ted Hardie <hardie@qualcomm.com>]

In some off-line discussions with Jim, I noted that I do believe
that the primary purpose of registration in this space is to avoid
code point collision.  Based on that criterion, the request for NINFO
should probably go forward; it is clear that .tel plans to deploy this
RRType and allocating a code point to distinguish their use from
what would happen with a simple grab has value for the community.

I have asked Jim to consider some changes to his registration
which would, I believe, help establish at least the charset of the
text and potentially the media type of the NINFO (e.g. distinguishing
html-formatted text from plain text).  Those changes would, in my
opinion, make this more useful to a broader range of folks, but they
don't change the value of avoiding collision.
