The dane-ops draft in section 5.1 specifically extends the semantics
of "3 1 X" to cover RPK. (The reference to the RPK draft needs to
be updated to reference the published RFC).
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dane-ops-07#section-12
* In Section 5.1 we update [RFC6698] to specify peer identity
matching and certificate validity interval based solely on the
basis of the TLSA RRset. We also specify DANE authentication of
raw public keys [I-D.ietf-tls-oob-pubkey] via TLSA records with
Certificate Usage DANE-EE(3) and selector SPKI(1).
If the text in section 5.1 of that document needs to say more, or
to be phrased differently, patches (to the XML please) welcome.
This group moves slowly. I wish it were otherwise, but it seems
that working on DANE is nobody's day-job.

Perhaps it is time to move the OPS draft into LC, now that the SMTP
and SRV drafts have had their turn. (And perhaps time to move
those into IETF last call).
