Add my vote to parking the DNS stuff under O=Internet - with the
proviso that we get at least a gentleman's agreement with the people
who control the root DNS servers as to the registration issues.  As
Wngyik says: "My solution is to avoid the problem altogether by viewing
the DIT as a listing hierarchy :-)."  The problem is that *somebody*
has to take responsibility for *registration*, as otherwise we'll be
listing anything and everything, and after a while, it will be so
inconsistent and out of touch with reality that we'll be looking at
proposals to move the tree to a new arc called "O=Horse-manure" ;)

A second issue to consider is the set of second-level domains -
a DNS tree in the X.500 directory that has O=Internet@domain=EDU
will be quite useless if there are only 5 entries under it - do
we wish to populate the tree with *all* domains, even if they are
NOT participating in the current pilots?
