Re: [DNSOP] Some distinctions and a request - Have some class?

[manning <[e-mail]>]

Actually, there IS an escape method already defined.  We just don’t use it much these days.
It’s called  “class”

There is no reason these alternate namespaces should sit in the IN class.  they could/should be in their
own class, like the old CHAOS protocols.   So  a class  “ONION” or “P2P” would work out very nicely.

After all it’s the Domain Name System.  (can comprehend names in multiple domains, not just the Internet)
