G'day.

Given the reality of arguably-legitimate left-to-right domain name 
hierarchy presentation in some contexts, and given a desire to have 
specification text that is both correct and robust, I'm going to suggest 
a bit more verbosity in the attrleaf document, along the lines of...


from:

      <t>If a public specification calls for use of an
         _underscore-prefixed domain node name, the 'global'
         (right-most) _underscored name MUST be entered into this
          registry. </t>

to:
      <t>If a public specification calls for use of an
         _underscore-prefixed domain node name, the 'global'
         (highest level, and typically right-most) _underscored name MUST
         be entered into this registry. </t>


Does this cause anyone intolerable heart-burn?  If it does, please at 
least explain but preferably offer something better.

Thanks.
