Much as I hate to argue with someone who is agreeing with me :-),
I think there is some misunderstanding here. What I'm advocating
is straight out of NADF175 (aka RFC1255).

In particular, the part of NADF175 that I think you object to based
on private conversations and the last OSI-DS meeting is part of the
model I'm advocating: the model still allows for listing entries
where they don't naturally occur. That's why

	- I said "reflect (but not mirror)" in my original message (OK,
	  so maybe this is a bit obscure -- thanks for bringing this up)

	- I suggested that OSI-DS12 would be a good place to
	  come up with a scheme for listing Internet-centric
	  things outside of o=Internet

	- I (reluctantly) agreed that Christian could list
	  non-DNS things in the DNS tree.

Do you still think this way after this message?
