	Why don't you?  You seem to be the one worried about it :-)

	I want to get draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones through
	first before dealing with the issue of how to get every
	iterative resolver serving the root.  You will note that
	dealing with traffic at the root is left out of
	draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones.

	There is a difference between saying we should do this and
	just doing it.  Part of process is to get consenus that
	this is reasonable or at least won't hurt and working what
	needs to be changed to make it happen.
