One example, is the language about the new DNS RR types probably won't
be accepted by the folks on namedroppers, and I can give some
suggestions about what will be more likely to be accepted. I suspect
that the tree-walking in the current draft will also be very unpopular
with the DNS folks. SPF removed the zone-cut idea in part because of
this opposition, and the CSV's tree-walk wasn't any better accepted.
using zone-cut quite simply violates dns semantics. zones are an
administrative construct, not a name-space construct.
the tree-walk model is a very difficult compromise. for csv we explored
this issue at very great and very painful length. there is no question
that the result is ugly. the problem was that there seemed to be no other
way to deal with site-wide "policy" records.
