Actually no.  That is not correct.  I did some experimentation using 
BIND 8 and 9 as root servers.  BIND 8 does not support

*. CNAME some.host.name.

But BIND 9 does.

I know it sounds terrible to you but I think the RFC is flexible on 
that.  Your the expert - you look into it.  So it would be so nice if I 
could under BIND 9 do:

*. NS some.host.name.

Paul - make it so.  It would really cut down on root traffic and we 
could use AS112 as the garbage can of bin bucket heaven.  Be a sport - 
push the buttons and make it so.

P.S. Alot of servers already wildcard *. NS back to the IANA servers.
