I'd follow along with what the IndieWeb folks are doing. They've got a pretty good principle of reusing existing infrastructure in new ways to build interesting things without needing coordinated upgrades.

As an example, getting widespread adoption of a new TX DNS record type is unlikely, though you can fake it with TXT records.

It sounds to me like the OP is actually looking for SRV records, which are basically generalised MX records.

For now TXT records will work, till it becomes a stable one, then it can be moved to either SRV or its own set of records

That is right. I will update the proposal thanks!

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I love what IndieWeb is doing.
