No, not really - you couldn't do NSEC3 with TXT, for example. Or DNAME,
or ANY, or lots of things.
I'm just using "could I implement this with TXT?" as a proxy for whether
it's a major change to the way the DNS works, or just a thing we can move
forward on with expert review.
Ah. I gather the question is whether the record has semantics beyond just
serving it, like DNAME or the proposed BULK, or it's just another record
with no special handling. I think we agree this is clearly the latter,
since any specialness is outside the DNS query/response protocol.
