True, and the reverse order is used because, as Steven Lind pointed out, the hierarchy in the names is opposite that of the E.164 numbers (and also opposite that of the IP addresses, I might add). However, it's not clear to me why the fields of the E.164 number which are clearly delineated, such as country code and city/area code, could not at least have been kept together, delimited by dots. The long series of dots seems a bit excessive? One might _also_ argue that as long as e164.int is used in the DNS name field, the convention for the stuff up front be in accordance with E.164? I think it would be far clearer, and no tremendous problem, to show +1 206 780 0431 as 1.206.7800431.e164.int, and a euro-style number like 39 06 3295887 as 39.06.3295887.e164.int. I mean, the whole point of DNS names was that they be clear to a human, yes? I still think, though, that using the DNS field for AESAs, peer to the IP address field, would be a useful feature in addition to this naming convention.
