This is fair comment. The trouble is how to improve things. There
isn't a DNS police to enforce BCPs or whatever and throw persistent
offenders in jail. Having a hall of shame for the people with the most
badly broken setups is hardly likely to be productive either. And as
Peter pointed out, the process for getting TLD delegations amended can
be painful and slow, even when the TLD wants to make a change.

Friendly persuasion and quiet words of advice from a Jon Postel would
probably be effective. But who is there that has that stature and
broad acceptance today?
