I'm not sure I get it.  Where in the URL would the SSM DNS name
appear?  Are you suggesting that kqed.radio.example.com resolves to
*both* the unicast address of a web server that is serving up an sdp
record *and* to the AA record, in which case we have a URL like this:

   http://kqed.radio.example.com/multicast-sessions/someSdpRecord.sdp

And a zone file something like this?

   kqed.radio.example.com CNAME radio.example.com
   kqed.radio.example.com AA 232.1.2.3.172.20.59.67

Or is the idea that browsers would understand AA records, or something
else?
