If you have a proposal for some method to actually cause the parent/child

Read about timestamps in http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html. It's
not my fault that BIND can't handle this trivial synchronization.
If you're trying to say that the RFC 1034 requirement should be loosened
to allow semi-synchronized changes (parent zone is changed after all the
child servers have changed), go ahead and make that proposal in DNSEXT,
and we'll discuss it. But don't try to sneak it past us as part of an
``AXFR clarification.''
Semi-synchronized changes have always been part of the DNS.
Anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves.
