I do find myself a little puzzled that we feel this is necessary --
nobody is calling for this for DNSKEY, RRSIG, or DS records?

Anyway, we aren't generating acronyms for the numbers -- we're
identifying enumeration values.

In Table 2, "Hash" should be "SPKI", "Full" should probably be "Cert".
In Table 3, "NoHash" should be "Full".

I'm not convinced that Priv* will see enough use to be worth making an
enumeration value for them. If you're going to have them, "PrivHash"
needs to be "PrivMatch".

Otherwise you'll end up with weird things like:
* PKIX-CA Hash NoHash
* DANE-EE Full SHA2-256
* DANE-TA Full NoHash

instead of:
* PKIX-CA SPKI Full
* DANE-EE Cert SHA2-256
* DANE-TA Cert Full

Other questions not addressed in the draft:
* Case sensitive or not?
* Probably should show some examples of use?
* Can I mix enumerations with the numbers?
* What if the enumerations are used out of order?
