As I mentioned at the IETF, this is simply not true. All because I let
someone on my network doesn't mean I want them to be able to update the
DNS. It *might* be true.

Feel free to do that with networks you operate. This is a huge cost, if
you compare it to a zone file with a $RANGE statement, which is what we
have today.


Perhaps it makes sense to have two documents:

     1. A document which says "you won't be able to pre-populate in IPv6
        reverse like you do in IPv4 - don't worry about it".
     2. A document which says "if you want to provide IPv6 reverse for
        some reason, here are a plethora of ways to do it".

Which is basically Doug's document, split into two. I think having two
makes sense, because otherwise we are confounding the pre-populating
issue with the issue of how to provide reverse in the brave, new IPv6
world.
