Sure. The DNS uses hierarchical naming. Intrinsic to such a system is  
a unique root. It's the only way to ensure there's a universally  
consistent name space, something that's so self-evident it should not  
need further exposition. Any proposal for "multiple roots" by  
definition violate that fundamental principle. QED.

It is also unclear what requirements or operating conditions lie  
behind this draft. So unless the WG has a better understanding of the  
problem the draft intends to solve, it is not known from a technical  
or engineering perspective if the proposed approach satisfies the  
preconditions that motivated the production of this draft.

I suggest we ask the authors of this draft to come back when they have  
clarified the problem that apparently needs solving and they have  
devised a scheme which provides the innovation in the name space they  
appear to need and is consistent with RFC2826.
