That's a little over-broad considering the number of registries there  
are (and have been, for a long time). I think it's fair to say that  
even if this was once the case for COM/NET/ORG registries, there are  
many more registries where this was never close to being true.

It seems to me that if someone else chooses to insert 32- or 128-bit  
integers of their choice into their zone files, then there's properly  
very little I can or should be able to do about it. But that's just me.
