That's not accurate. I'll give you that it looks that way, but it's
not accurate. I only say this because if we want to engineer a good
solution, we should be as accurate as possible in our discussions.
Unfortunately the DNSEXT WG has let the document that gives a
detailed overview of this slip from the archives. However, I did
find it here:
http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-dnsext-wcard-clarify/
Note - that says I am the editor. The problem is that I *was* an
editor, it got passed on due to time constraints. (I've bcc'd the
DNSEXT WG chairs to alert them to the missing document, bcc to save
them from the ensuing thread.)
