There appears to be a way of associating a subnet in the IN-ADDR.ARPA
domain to a FQDN, which could then be queries for LOC data. For single
addresses, the domain owner could opt to include location data for their
domain. For subnets, the operator can include location data at their
option.
Also, I would add one more field to the LOC RR: country code. This
would be a two-byte value that is the standard two character ASCII
country code. When missing, a value of binary zero would be returned on
query.
