This ``digression'' is an attempt to fix a serious interoperability problem. The discussion is clearly within the DNSEXT charter. Several people have already confirmed that the problem exists, despite a message from Bush suggesting otherwise. Several people have expressed interest in eliminating the problem--- although Bush has discarded messages from some of them, in an attempt to make his position seem more popular than it actually is. This, unfortunately, isn't new behavior for Bush. See http://cr.yp.to/dnscache/namedroppers.html for documentation of several previous incidents. I'm cc'ing this message to ietf@ietf.org because Bush generally doesn't allow criticism of his own behavior on the DNSEXT mailing list. ---Dan
