Also +1.  I've always thought there's no point in standardizing
ANAME-kind of thing unless its ultimate goal includes the
resolver-side support.  Of course it would take very long time and may
even turn out to be unsuccessful, but if we give up with the idea from
the beginning by stating 'not required, I wouldn't be able to support
the work.  So to me, this is not minor but quite critical.
