I think I've run out of reasons why the HINFO approach is better than 
your pick-one idea, which mainly leaves us with the HINFO approach 
feeling a lot like a dirty hack that makes me want to shower, while 
yours gets the job done without needing updates to 1035, assuming we 
feel comfortable with the assertion that ANY doesn't have to mean ALL in 
the context of an authority server. I like it quite a lot. Sorry again 
to have missed it when you first brought it up.

Olafur had a particular code-base in mind as motivation for documenting 
this, and he may have some perspectives that I have missed. On that 
note, I will take a few steps away from the microphone.
