Right.  But the use case motivating this, to clorify, multi-CDN
deployments.  I agree that the document could be clearer about
this - the underlying problem can be a little difficult to wrap
your head around.

This isn't the only way to solve the problem (currently empty
server responses could be leveraged, for example, or some appalling
DNS goo) but this proposal is straightforward and reasonable, and
there is a need in CDN-land for something that allows multiple
domain control validators.  So, I'd like to see something published
and I think this document is a good place to start.
