I scanned this document a bit too fast, with an eye on parent-child
relationships and didn't fully realise this is about relating domains
at different parts in the DNS hierarchy alltogether.

So now I do understand the format and use better. I'm not sure if the
DNS is the best place for this information, but it is not the worst
place either. So in that sense this proposal seems fine.

I do still have a concern that this is using its own signature schemes
embedded in the records instead of relying on DNSSEC. But I guess
that's just the world we live in now.
