This is where things get interesting.  You, Owen, I are not "the 99% home
users out there" - home users don't do DNS zones, because they do not 
control a DNS server...  (they do mDNS because it's automatic and works
fine for in-house purposes).   Where this falls apart, of course, is when
you need to setup some sort of "call me" service, like remote help, 
access your home disks from abroad, etc.

Some router vendors (AVM) have started to offer dyn-dns services that
attach the current (dynamic) prefix to a statically known host-id and
thus provide DNS to reach "home devices".  I'm not aware of specific 
drafts that govern how IETF thinks this *should* be done, though.
