Well, the $TTL directive was introduced in the zone files when
the meaning of the last field of the SOA RR changed from minimum
TTL to negative caching.  I don't remember when this took place
but that's a long time ago.

Better that way.  But I believe it should be moved to 207.1
because it's useful for recursive caches (that's what 207.1 is
about) and not for authoritative servers (that's what 207.2 is
about).
