I suppose at the very worst we could use "yaml". But something a bit more generic (so XML fellas can use it too) would be preferable. ideas: type domain inet (internet) zoom (just for fun) dbi (domain based identifier) dbn (domain based name) nmsp (namespace... although I don't like this as much) rdns (reverse dns ... urn:rdns:com.clarkevans.yaml,2002;MyPackage) class (object's class) dnscls (domain name system class ) Buggers.
