perhaps a (-1) is useful here.  there are two points in the namespace graph
that assume some knowledge of the administrative boundaries...  the root and
the leaf.

if this WKS look-alike emerges -AND- is used in the RRset of a leaf, then it
is reasonable to assume certain adminstrative bounds and no real good reason
to deny the code point.

if someone uses this elsewhere in the graph, then it has no meaning.
