	ask yourself how many DNS admins are going to go pull out
	the "-delegation" stanzas from their configs?  Or that
	will use them to lie about other delegations that use wildcards
	as long as that code is still available?  ...  

	someone should write up a FAQ now, describing how to troubleshoot
	DNS anomolies that will arise as a result of this code being in
	the wild. IMHO, its going to be a -long- time before this "feature"
	is eradicated from the deployed base.  :(
