Mumble. I had a "P.S. Yes, I know CNAME at zone apex is illegal, I'm merely responding to Andrew's question" in my message but figured no one on the dns-operations list would think anyone on the list wouldn't know this. My bad. Yes, I'm quite well aware that CNAME and other data is illegal, thanks. However, non-DNS people see value in it, configure it, and then get quite unhappy when various rare applications (e.g., Microsoft Exchange) get confused. Quoting RFCs at folks, particularly when there are (arguably) reasonable unambiguous ways in which it could be implemented, typically generates more unhappiness. So it goes.
