I care, but I lack knowledge of practices for RRs design.

Is this point closely tied to DNS / Resolvers operations or is it up to
a user scenario of the RR to tackle it ?

Do RR proposals usually specify handling of unknown values for fields of
this kind ?

Isn't it implicit that in case of the occurence of such an event, the RR
should be ignored ? Is it implicit in cases where other fields (algo
type, etc) have unknow values ?

Is there a need to define RESERVED or VENDOR SPECIFIC ranges for this
field ?
