Long ago, I had suggested that given the peculiar and unique nature or root server addresses and their critical 
sensitivity that their addresses be treated as protocol parameters, i.e., that root service was fixed to those 
addresses by protocol specification.  People asked if I had been touched by the Bad Idea Fairy (RIP).  I still think 
it’s a good idea… :)
