it that case we would overload the SRV record as a 'application key owner
name' pointer. is that really what we want?

using _ssh._tcp KEY seems cleaner, but I don't really see why we would
need the protocol in the owner name. do applications have different keys
for different protocols? if so, this could be useful.
