(Ted, if I'm wrong feel free to correct me)

I'm a big supporter of being as explicit as we can to prevent ambiguity. I
also know if there is such an ambiguity for any length of time,
we're going to use such ambiguity for Bad DNS Decisions.  We can't help
ourselves.

This sounds like the road to consensus.

When Ray mentioned that dns messages can not ask questions, I encouraged
him to document that to be complete.
My personal feeling (however misguided) is if we're updating working like
1035, we should be as accurate as possible
to leave no ambiguity.  Always happy to be told I'm wrong.

I personally also have come back around on the multi-qtypes draft.
