@Knowledgable people, should be able to hand-edit these software's produced
@files ;-)  One thing I've discovered is that a SOA delegation cannot be

In the IPv8 Plan, an A resource record (RR) for the Top Level Domain
contains a 32 bit quantity that is similar to a Program Status Word (PSW)
on a CPU. This is used to encode the addressing mode for addresses
that come from that TLD authority.

It is surprising how many people think that A RRs can only contain
IP addresses. They are really just object containers for the class 32 bit Integer.
TXT records hold Strings and AAAA records hold 128 bit Integers.

The DNS could be used for much more, once people are allowed to be creative...
