I have shown that it is entirely possible to support wildcarded prefixed DNS records without changing the legacy infrastructure and without changing the wildcard definition in DNSSEC. okay, fine. while I'm sure they're useful, wildcard prefixed DNS records is not a problem that I've seen a pressing need to solve. > I have made exceptionally specific technical proposals yet you still don't seem to feel that these rise to the level that warrants your technical consideration (as opposed to the time taken to reply here). it's not as if I'm equally interested in all proposals. I, like you, have a limited amount of time and energy and choose to expend that time and energy on proposals that matter to me - either because I think they're trying to do something important and beneficial or because I think there's a significant chance that they'll do harm.
