I'm not sure what you have in mind here.  One of the benefits of using a
new RR type is that it may allow us to get away from the use of a prefix
entirely, which in turn may shorten the search process by detecting
nonexistent domains more easily.  I'm not certain how well this
mechanism works, but you can see what I'm talking about in
draft-allman-dkim-ssp-02.
