Well yes thats part of the problem. It looks like verisign doesnt care 
what anyone (ICANN, IAB, operators) thinks. But if we can mandate via RFC 
it for dns software (servers, resolvers) etc. Then we go a ways to 
removing verisign from the equation. Verisign can do what they like, 
everyone will just ignore their hijacking.
