If you were referring to draft-krishnaswamy-dnsop-dnssec-split-view
there, I'm not sure I agree.  My complaint at the time was that the
document was trying to do two things at once, and neither was really
fully there.  In particular, I thought (and still think) that a fairly
extensive discussion of split-view was needed, and that the different
approaches and so on needed to be enumerated in one document.  Then a
second document detailing when and how to do split-view with DNSSEC
(with that draft as the basis) would be good.  I was ready to work on
this, and in fact I did some work on it, but there didn't seem to be
much other enthusiasm.

I am still ready and willing to take this on.  I know that it's
fashionable to go "lalalala" every time split-brain^H^H^H^H^Hview
comes up, but it's a widely-used feature and I think we're remiss if
we don't document it.  If you and Suresh want to continue work on
this, so do I.

Completely agree.
