also think that, if we want to replace zone.tab with something better,
we should take the time now to make sure its replacement doesn't unintentionally retain any major shortcomings of the previous version, so we don't find ourselves

bit of forward-thinking: BEFORE releasing a new file or format into the
wild.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div>--<br>Tim Parenti<br></div>
