Does this need to be stated? As Rob explained, QTYPE=* is a beast that's not really used except by folks playing with "dig" and "nslookup"; the resolvers don't use them, so we might not need to care about them? I haven't edited ipv6-dns-issues on this subject, but if there are concrete suggestions which do not conflict with the transport guidelines document, shoot! :) -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
