That's just what I *don't* want to do.  I do not want to be volunteered to 
be an unpaid security officer for everyone else's DNS.

It's fine to think about ways that a domain can secure its DNS and detect 
and fix unauthorized change, but I don't think it's fair to expect the 
rest of the world to do it for you.
