	I have an objection on grammatical and aesthetic grounds.
	This seems particularly appropriate in the context of a
	"Cosmetic Surgery" review.

	"Sub" is a prefix, not an adjective.

	Please substitute for "sub domains" any of the following:
	"sub-domains" -- a hyphen is usually appropriate after a prefix;
	"subdomains" -- a well-established derived word needs no hyphen;
	"domains" -- no qualifying prefix is actually necessary, as
	both "in-addr.arpa" and "ip6.arpa" are domains, and the value of
	emphasizing their subsidiarity in this context is doubtful.

	Have a good weekend, everyone!
