It doesn't have to be a protocol change. Strictly an implementation 
change. It would break less than the current implementation change ya'll 
made can break. Reguardless of if resolver functionality for application 
support is included or not doesn't really matter. The ability to tell 
the recursor to accept or not accept the wildcard records is functional 
and doesn't care about delegation; strictly if the record returned 
matched a wildcard set. It preforms the same service that the delegation 
patches did except it won't break tld's like de.
