If we require an underscored _marid prefix to prevent potential collisions 
with existing namespace, are we then not dealing with a circular reasoning 
here?
I mean, if the underscore prefix is not widely deployed because few DNS 
providers support it, then choosing an underscored prefix to avoid collision 
leads to having to make world-wide changes to providers' User Interfaces, so 
that the _marid prefic can be widely deployed; after which time you lost the 
advantage again of not running the risk of collision.
In that case, we might as well drop the underscore requirement to begin 
with.
