with two differences:

     - no restriction on the CNAME or any other mechanism used
       for RR. In fact using a one level approach RR  
       could be completely decoupled from the rest of CDI.
     - No global view (matrix) has to be ever exchanged or
       calculated.

Implementation wise it is a list and not a matrix. Obviously a list
can be thought of as a degenerated matrix, however, I rather implement
lists than matrices. So as I agree that you can think of it as a
special case, restricting it to that special case simplifies the 
protocol needed.
