(As an aside: I've often wondered why the DNS doesn't have *more* meta-query

Or, an EDNS OPT mechanism to request a list of desired types in addition to
QTYPE to be returned in the additional section (subject to packet size, rate
limiting, DNS cookie authentication, whatever).

It's been tried, for instance to get a lot of crypto records along with
the address records. People don't seem to like it at all. It might be
harder now too when needing to include a bunch of NSEC(3) proofs.
