I think the topic is no longer important. But I'll explain why I brought up
"bailiwick" in this context.
Bailiwick, according to a (non-technical/natural language dictionary, such as
Merrian-Webster) means:
1) one's sphere of operations or particular area of interest.
2) the district or jurisdiction of a bailie or bailiff.
When a query arrives at a nameserver, one of the early steps is to:
(Copied from "Domain Concepts and Facilities" [RFC 1034], section Algorithm
[4.3.2])
2. Search the available zones for the zone which is the nearest
ancestor to QNAME. If such a zone is found, go to step 3,
otherwise step 4.
My use of bailiwick comes from the "sphere of operations" mapping to "the
available zones" in the nameserver.
However, after the discussion in the interim meeting, I don't think there's any
need to "replace" lame delegation with anything as the situation I've seen it
used in no longer is a topic of discussion, except when we are dredging up
history for the sake of history.
