Are there plans to support DNAME & LOC record types?

Ref: DNS record types

Specifically interested in DNAME & LOC, but was wondering if there's a general plan to implement currently-unsupported/all record types?

I did not add all possible types, especially the ones marked as experimental. Those are mostly used in edge cases. Feel free to add them / send a PR.

A general plan to add all types does not exist, no, mostly because that list constantly changes and there is a lot of obsolete or just experimental stuff in there which is not really used ^^

I had an opportunity to add a LOC record to a domain and got some interesting results when attempting to read it. I understand that LOC (29) records aren't supported as a canonical record type, but I was guessing that at the least it would return a value I could parse manually.

What I'm getting back looks like a base64 string in DataAsString, but I haven't had any luck turning it into anything meaningful.

Here's the source record alioth 10800 IN LOC 35 34 56.685 N 105 23 15.647 W 2111.00m 1.00m 1.00m 1.00m

Here's what's getting returned from LookupClient.Query for recordtype= ANY
