In reviewing ekr's AD review for 6844bis, I realized a lot of 
information was duplicated between Section 3 "The CA RR Type" and 
Section 5 "Mechanism." I don't see a reason for these to be separate 
sections, and I think they were behind a number of inconsistencies.

I wrote up a change to merge the two. I think this fixes a lot of 
problems in the spec, but it's a fairly significant change, so I wanted 
to present this for review before merging into my working copy.

Please take a look:

Thanks,
Jacob
