It looks basically OK -- most of the alternatives have been ruled out
so these are what's left.  A and AAAA in the TLDs are no good unless
we want to invent a new reserved name and check to make sure that
nobody has used it yet.

For the numbers bootstraps, assuming the RIRs are agreeable, I'd like
to say that the much smaller IANA allocation list is an acceptable
substitute for the NRO list.  I expect some people will find a 300,000
line bootstrap file a bit rich for their setups.  The differences
between the IANA and NRO files should all be known to the relevant
RIRs, who can issue redirects, no?
