Greetings again. The following is a proposal to help end-users who are told 
"please enter this record in your zone to prove your existence". It simplifies 
the process without automating it; in short, it makes copy-and-pasting more 
likely to work, particularly for the _label names that are being used more. 
(DomainConnect is working on automation, but with a different target audience.)

If this interests you, please read the short draft, particularly the use case 
and design descriptions in the introduction. Those sections describe why the 
format is purposely limited for this narrow use case.

Abstract:

  It is common for service providers such as certificate authorities
  and social media providers to want users to update the users' zones
  to prove that they control those zones, or to add other features.
  Currently, service providers tell users to do this using human
  language describing the resource record type and data values to enter
  into the zone.  This document describes a text format, called "DNS
  update with JSON" or "DUJ", for such a service provider to give to a
  user, with the expectation that the user would copy and paste the
  text to their DNS operator to update the user's zone.  DNS operators
  who know how to handle DUJ strings will make the update process
  easier and more predictable for their users.
