	I don't believe that there is a *class* "ANY".  The term "class" 
is reserved for things like "IN" (Internet), "HS" (Hesiod), etc.... 
There is a *type* "ANY", but not a *class*.

	Which, in the vast majority of cases, should be things like 
"PTR/ANY" becoming "PTR/ANY/IN" (or wherever they decided to add the 
class information).  In most cases, this should be largely 
irrelevant, although it's useful enough in a small number of cases 
that I believe it's a good improvement.
