[dns-wg] RIPE NCC DNSSEC trust anchors

once, long ago,  there was a serious and aggressive move to remove .arpa 
we moved everything into .int and included the rirs as organizations responsible for the numbers.

then it was pointed out that replacing all the resolver libraries might be problematic and DNAME had not
been invented…  then the IAB decided to repurpose .arpa (changed the name) and ICANN took over
.int … but they didn’t do a real good job of cleaning up.

so we still have .arpa and .int is strictly treaty orgs (or should be).   i guess one could argue RIPE
is an offshoot of a treaty org  (the EU)
