ANAME will add two things beyond a provisioning-only setup:

* a standard way to signal to dynamic auth servers where to get A/AAAA
  records from

* a way to signal to recursives that they might get a better answer if
  they query the target themselves

Even for a provisioning-only setup, ANAME will give the zone admin a
standard way to configure the provisioning process. That's what I mostly
want it for.
