It won't be a full replacement - just some of the RDATA field descriptions.
We'll try to keep much of the descriptive text that is already there (as
long as it is relevant).  That includes the examples.  If you think we need
better (or different) examples, please let the editors know.

I like the idea of having a binary format of an example as well.  May help
seeing how the bitmap field looks as "octet value"  "octet value"  "bit
string"  or something besides just the text example.  I could live without
it too.
