The I-D does not split the DNS at all. It plays with words by
pretending it will allow several roots but this is not true. Instead,
it creates a super-root (the one which will allocate the AIPs, the .A
and .B in the examples) and therefore just displaces the (real)
problems to the super-root.

This is what the vast majority of "several roots" systems do: create a
new root but do not call it a root. Newspeak at its best...
