If the goal is to alias trees, I don't understand how clients would
use it.  Let's say you do this:

other.example. ALIAS main.example.

main.example. SAILA other.example.

Now I look up www.other.example, which I presume is supposed to be
substitutable for www.main.example.  How can I tell that one is
the alias for the other?  Tree walk?  Magic extra stuff in the
DNS response?  Something else?

Signed,
Confused

PS: This proposal looks a lot like a simpler version of Andrew's SOPA
proposal, which solved the problem by requiring a SOPA record at every
substitutable name.
