The registries are telling everyone that DNAME is the greatest innovation in the world
I gather that DNAME interacts poorly with DNSSEC. That's really a nit, it's not a big deal to run a database that puts the same contents into umpteen zones and signs them all.
Yes, it means that if I want "BRET" in the Chinese version of NET, I'll need to register again, but I view the Chinese version of NET, whatever it might be, as a separate TLD.
I agree, but we better have a plausible story about why that's not hopelessly confusing. A good start would be to point out that nobody seems to have trouble telling .COM from .BIZ. R's, John
