Given that we want the core to be extensible, albeit focused for now 
on domains, I think we want to be inclusive of other ideas.  I also 
think that the description as written accurately reflects the 
consensus of the group when it comes the adoption of what was in P3P 
as it relates to us.

Judging from omissions in the old DNS documents, it's better to 
mention as much as possible even if you think that doing so might 
lead to bad ideas.  Bad ideas that stem from unclear sections of text 
are much harder to debate and fix.

It's true, my last college class really was "Introduction to Ada."
