Hi Paul,
I can't really, as a DNS software vendor, say how much the draft is
useful in general, but it looks interesting.
If I understand the background correctly, it might also help to declare
that the DNS software vendors SHOULD NOT develop tools that
automatically convert DUJ into DDNS and send it to a nameserver.
A nit: all examples in your draft have unmatching square brackets :)
Some of the little specific requirements look weird or odd to me, like
'The FQDN MUST NOT end with "." ' (isn't this actually a crime in
DNSOP?) 'The FQDN MUST NOT contain a wildcard' (this might be a blocking
limitation for potential users)...

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.
