I claim that (1) is actually just an instance of (2), and it just so
happens to be the worst irritant of these cases so it's the one people
talk about.

A significant point of this proposal is to get this away from trying
to use the zone cut as in any way meaningful in this context.  It's
the illusion that a zone cut tells you anything here that we need to
combat.  That was a category mistake that people made early on.
Moreover, when I initially thought about this, I thought that maybe we
could link the SOPA record to zone cuts; but I quickly realized that
the zone cut is really an orthoganal issue, and we shouldn't nail this
problem to that one.

Best,
