DNS and wallet addresses

I was just thinking about the possibility of harnessing the conventional domain name system as a means to store wallet addresses such that you could direct a transaction to a URL something like:

wallet.mydomain.com

Could this be achieved using the TXT-type record on the DNS for the subdomain? Would be pretty cool to define a standard for this. The record could contain addresses for various wallet types - e.g.

wallet.mydomain.com. TXT "wallet=btc:1K59yRiX3Vvp2jZyHYDmmzGaGehLFL9aWy xrp:raiE52Ws8wYjh8k93dDDUqq4HwkfPhR6fA"


This seems so obvious that I assume I'm either being stupid somehow, or that this is an old idea, but thought I'd chuck it out there...
