Here it is, a proposed supplement to RFC2826:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-higgs-root-defs-00.txt
It's called "cat herding". :-) The short answer is that there's a far
better chance of coordinating the alt.roots into a single unified root,
than suffering the consequences of a permanent and very real root
fragmentation by ignoring them.
