for listing a name int he RFC 6761 registry is because it needs special
handling of some kind in DNS software that would otherwise be unaware of
the special handling required by that name.  In this case, the only name
servers that need to handle these names specially are the ones implementing
the technology.. all other name servers treat them as ordinary names.
