Fair.  I was just wondering if this group had any concerns or opinions
on the matter.

To me, the value in being able to do that is that I can allow one-offs
for certain subdomains of a domain for which I already have CAA records
set.  I.e., I don't want to open the second-level domain entirely to
whichever CA the 3rd-pary app uses, but I do want the 3rd-party app to
get their certs for that one subdomain.

It's alright if others don't see value in that; as you said (and I
agree), it's ultimately a DNS question, so I can take it there.
