I suppose, although for this application, wouldn't this work just as well?

    *._tcp.mail1.example.com. IN CNAME _dane.example.com.
    *._tcp.mail2.example.com. IN CNAME _dane.example.com.
    *._tcp.mail3.example.com. IN CNAME _dane.example.com.
    _dane.example.com IN TLSA 2 1 1 ...

I can see that if you had both mail and web with _25 and _443 TLSA,
DNAME might be a little easier to set up.
