... I think we disagree about how we usually interpret the use of RRSets with

However, this seems clear (see my earlier horse/sailed comment). Given that the 
draft semantics of SVCB have already seen some implementation, any new 
semantics would need a new RRType (SVCC? :-)

I admit I have a certain aesthetic bias here since I find the entire concept of 
embedding a list of parameters inside a single RR to be very un-DNS-like. 
However, I found Mr Wouter's concerns (paraphrasing, "perhaps we should 
pre-allocate a set of CVE numbers for this") worth considering, and would hope 
that if there is a reason to burn the current RRType on security grounds (or 
any grounds more compelling than aesthetic) that we would do so.
