How much code, in the number of implementations, have you _personally_ written 
that parses RRSets returned from a query and selects the subset you want to 
actually use? Including issues with size of RRSets? ;-)

Yes, I once upon a time supported NAPTR strongly, but because of that I also 
now hate it and support URI.

For this very reason.
