Hmm. I would not really be the logical person do do this...

FWIW, here is what one of the dnsext chairs said about druid. Note
that saying "no" is not really what they believe they are chartered
to do. I.e., they can say why this is a bad use of the DNS, but they
are the wrong community to talk about whether the general approach to
solving a particular problem makes any sense..

Subject: DNSEXT review of draft-brand-drip-02.txt


The IESG AD for DNSEXT has asked the working group to review your document
for DNS completeness of RR type specification, as specified in our charter:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html

We will post a message about this on our mailing list late Friday.
We would appreciate if one or more of the authors are subscribed to
the working group mailing list for this discussion, as our mailing
list is restricted to subscribers only and non subscriber messages sometimes
take a long time to show up.

The working group will not be allowed to discuss the applicability of
this specification as that falls outside its area of expertize.
