Since an RFC 2136 initiator is only supposed to send updates to an NS.NSDNAME,
and since the only spec'd use for SOA.MNAME is to select an NS.NSDNAME, any
change we want existing clients to make, we'd make with changes in NS.NSDNAME,
which would also affect normal operations (since these are used for delegation)
which isn't desireable.

I don't know a way to get out-of-spec clients to stop sending unwanted updates
other than to point SOA.MNAME at a meaningless value like LOCALHOST in one's
own local domain, and have that resolve to 127.0.0.1.
