% Then (taking into account the RIR's previous experience with glue records
% and the resounding lack of people caring about the reverse tree etc), what
% would be the 'best' way of doing this?

	DataPoint:

	Brittle data indicates ~60% of the in-addr.arpa tree is not mappable.
	Mice&Men data indicates ~75% of the forward tree is not mappable.
	
	Which tree is more broken?
