Although this would be interesting to discuss in detail, I'd suggest doing
so under a different subject line ;)

( ie, the RIPE NCC would be happy to make reasonable changes to the
  DNS statistics gathering that is performed, but I don't think an
  in-depth technical discussion is appropriate under this particular
  thread. )

However, this item is appropriate under the charter thread.  You are
correct, there is no really active usage made of the results (indeed, the
urls quoted predate my time at the NCC).  Hence, perhaps the WG would like
to consider that as a charter item?
