we know there won't be a new namespace.  ever.  but in addition to adding
new kinds of names (idn) and securing the data (dnssec) we have sometimes
tried to improve the protocol (edns).  if i were to embark on dnsv2 it would
be with the hope of completely forklift-upgrading the protocol while keeping
the namespace as it is.
