In general, I support the idea of what this document is trying to do.  But 
there are a couple of problems with their concrete approach.  Without delving 
into a full review…  

-- The algorithm for domain names is really insufficient.  For example, I have 
the email address [email protected] -- how do the dots get 
encoded?  I realize that the DNS wire format allows labels to have dots, but 
good luck making most libraries make that query.

-- I don't really see why we need a new RR type here, beyond the cognitive 
dissonance caused by the three letters "TLS".

So I guess that's a vote in general favor, but maybe another rev wouldn't hurt.
