Yes, these "underscore labels" are already in our focus for the upcoming other draft that Olafur had pre-announced on this thread. But don't forget, _adsp is subordinate to _domainkay, per RFC 5617. Since "underscore labels" are not considered "normal" DNS labels for domains representing (roughly) physical hosts and networks, everything below the topmost underscore label should not need to go in a central repository for underscore labels but be pointed to by the documentation referenced for the upper label in such repository. Also 3GPP has tentatively defined a bulk of non-IETF protocol related "underscore labels" for DNS based service discovery. One goal of the upcoming second draft will be to advice SDOs outside the IETF on how to 'socialize' with the IETF and use 'canonical' underscore labels. Your draft (draft-levine-reserved-names-registry) IMO should focus on the "normal" reserved labels. Kind regards, Alfred Hönes.
