APPKEY does not _need_ sub-typing as it has fields both for protocol and
version (per protocol).

the APPKEY-draft does however specify that the owner name can match the
SRV RR for the service, thus implementing sub-typing if needed. the
reasons for doing this, e.g. large RRsets, should be documented in the
next version of the draft.
