No, I'm saying that it would be a lot more productive to help people 
improve their provisioning systems, rather than say how stupid they are 
for not doing what we want.  Even now, there are precious few provisioning 
systems that support AAAA records, and even fewer that support DNSSEC.  I 
hacked support for AAAA into mine, but as far as I can tell, none of my 
users other than me is using them.  I added SPF records, but then took 
them out when my DNS mirror complained that he was getting strange error 
messages.
By the way, what's your opinion of draft-levine-dnsextlang-02?
