Actually it needs to be a type code.  How do you hash the TXT RRset and
RRSIG(TXT) RRset when you need to modify both of them after computing the
hash?  You need to be able to cleanly exclude the records from the ZONEMD /
XHASH calculations but have a indication that it is present in the zone
(NSEC/NSEC3 bit map).
