Paul, I am arguing against an arbitry architectural decision which
prohibits alternative RRs and domain names from ever being used. Arguing
over the RRs themselves is not going to be productive if the architecture
won't support them.

So yes, I am arguing against the mandatory and unnecessary case and
normalization rules which are embedded into the architecture.
