 For the record: the altRFC was written in response to
 discussions on the newdom mailing lists in late 1996.
 Mr. Abrahamsen and myself and any other commentators
 are "competing" with the eDNS article simply by pointing
 out it's flaws, it seems. The foremost flaw being that
 everyone out there reading it seems to understand that
 eDNS is the way a small group of like minded fellas is
 trying to take the whole iTLD show over.

 And the "i" stands for INTERNATIONAL by the way. Which
 meand across all nations rpughly. It does not mean a
 gang of Americans sitting around a table eith each US
 citizen there deciding to grab some flags and play the
 game for all those lucky nations out there. And, later,
 claim they weren't interested when all hell will break
 loose.

 As a Canadian I am interested and my interests were *NOT* 
 represented. Even if Mr. Sexton is nominally from this
 side of the border. Last time I checked no-one elected
 either of us to represent anyone but ourselves.
