if so there's a much larger set of changes we'd have to consider. for one 
thing NS2 should be slabbed (one record containing a compound rdata set); for 
another it would have to incorporate what DS does now (also as a slab). and it 
would move to be delegator-only, not present or relevant at the apex, and 
therefore signed in the parent. i have hesitated to bring any of this up in 
the years since 2003 when it all first came to light, because i thought it 
would take time and attention away from getting DNSSEC deployed. (naive?)

if this is meant to replace NS then it would have to be at the zone cut, and 
not a nephew-domain like DS should have been. so, i apparently misheard what 
was said on the dnsop webex about this, and didn't do my assigned reading 
before starting this thread. please accept my apologies.

this still doesn't feel like the right era to begin the DNSv2 effort.
