It may however pay us to rev RFC-3363 just to remove the offending section prior to getting out the node requirements. > 3363 does say: > > The issues for DNAME in the reverse mapping tree appears to be > closely tied to the need to use fragmented A6 in the main tree: if > one is necessary, so is the other, and if one isn't necessary, the > other isn't either.

Note DNAME support will be manditory with DNSSEC so the only issue is whether we discourage the use under IP6.ARPA which I (and lots of others in dnsext) now believe we got wrong.
