It seems this is more about providing a security function to DNS, to inform the public, about where the responsible parties change.
Absent a view that somehow says all metadata is a security function, I don't see how the marking of administrative boundaries qualifies as a security function.
It's easy to imagine security functions that are 'in support of' the enforcement of the boundaries, but that's quite different from having an annotation mechanism to assert the boundaries.
Let's be careful not to overload functions here. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
