To make things even worser. 

At the .DE Registry we also registering A and MX records.

means: for these domains we don´t do delegation, we include the machines 
directly into our zone. (don´t hit us for doing this, there are historical 
reasons ...)

So, if we are going to change the protocoll I would like to have something 
like:

<domain:ns>
   <domain:hostAttr>
     <domain:hostName>myhost.example.com</domain:hostName>
     <domain:hostType>A</domain:hostAddr>
     <domain:hostRHS>192.0.2.2</domain:hostAddr>
   </domain:hostAttr>
   <domain:hostAttr>
     <domain:hostName>*.example.net</domain:hostName>
     <domain:hostType>MX</domain:hostAddr>
     <domain:hostRHS>10 mail.example.net</domain:hostAddr>
   </domain:hostAttr>
</domain:ns>

(hostRHS = host right hand side = everything which is after the type in 
the zonedata

With this solution it is possible to put everything inside a hostAttr. 
Then it is up to the registry to define a policy and to accept/reject 
these entries.
