I think I know what you're getting out here, but I think what we're talking 
about are things that are not specifically DNS-like in their protocol, but 
rather correspond to uses where the IETF has some skin in the game.

I think it's clear that nobody has ever shown signs of wanting to anchor 
anything like this under .ARPA if it's a name that a user might ever have to 
see. The reason we might imagine we can persuade some people in the future to 
do so anyway is presumably because the IET has some authority to nudge them in 
that direction, not because there's some component of the situation that is 
DNS-protocol-like.
