Abstract
The DNS protocol supports three subcategories of Resource Record Types (RRTYPE): data types, QTYPES, and Meta-TYPES. There is a dedicated subrange of the RRTYPE space for Q and Meta-TYPES (128-155). The DNS protocol also defines a subrange of the RRTYPE space dedicated to private use (65280-65534), however this subrange has no corresponding subdivision into data versus Q and Meta-TYPES. This document proposes such a subdivision.
