Learning more about the resolvers out there would be *very* helpful, but
that isn't achieved by them providing an ID, they'd have to tell their
version (or feature list or ...). That, however could lead to all those
"intelligent" features of webservers, giving blinking domain names to
resolver X and those with smell and taste to resolver Y. That's only very
remotely related to "hostname.bind". Also, I do not yet understand why
the resolver should "pay" for the server's ID by presenting its own first,
especially since the ID need not be meaningful and may even change over
time. We aimed at debugging, not feature negotiation.

>   b) Agrees with Paul on this change in goals.

I'd like to have an agreed upon debugging aid *soon*.

You may take these as my words of silence.
