I should have been clearer about that remark. I mean "loaded" in the 
sense that there seems to be a presumption that the service is desirable 
and places the onus on the community to demonstrate why this is a bad 
thing. Verisign is the one that needs to demonstrate why this is 
desirable and how the benefits to the community will exceed currently 
accepted practices resolvers.

I don't think they can. Even if I am wrong and there are benefits to 
doing things this way, it is simply not right to allow a corporation to 
throw away 20 years of DNS best practices because they feel like it. I 
want to be convinced, or I want it to go away.
