This could go either way. If the WG thinks that the user, or someone 
responsible for the user, will add and change DNS records for that user, your 
proposal would clearly be better because you could delegate the user to a new 
subzone. On the other hand, if the WG thinks that the security admin will be 
the one adding and changing records for a particular type of mail security, 
then the design we are using now is better. I lean towards the second, but can 
see the merit of the first now that people are thinking of using this for 
things other than just mail security.
