The specification seems clear, the motivation for the specification is easy to understand, and I can think of no reason not to assign the requested code-point.

Two side-comment to the authors of draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-00:

(1) you might consider using the phrase "owner name" in the second-last paragraph of section 3, since referring to queries and QNAMEs in the context of publishing an RRSet seems a little clumsy.

(2) given that there is already a (weak) specification for encoding an e-mail address in a domain name in 1035's description of the RNAME field of the SOA RDATA, it might be worth providing a reference to that and describing briefly why it is inadequate for this purpose. (It's clearly inadequate, and I'm not suggesting it be used; I just think the reference would be informative.)
