you're correct in the end user environment (e.g. inventing new 
features for web browsers). You're not correct in the administration
environment of DNS records. >98% of the DNS zone tables fall into

Once RMX could become running, I estimate that >70% of german domains
could be updated within 3 months and >95% within 6-9 months.

I know what I am talking about. I was working for the largest german 
domain and web service provider, hosting the DNS tables for about
70% of german domains.
