Andrew Sullivan was right to say that there is an advantage to having BULK as an RR compared to the $GENERATE master file directive, because an RR makes it easier to interoperate across multiple providers in a multi-master DNS setup. I guess a BULK that is just a standardized version of $GENERATE (with multi-master-only online signing when there's an unfeasible number of generated records) isn't a completely terrible idea, though it's a lot less complicated than the current draft. I'd still like to see lots more specific examples of how it could be used other than for v6 reverse DNS.
