No, what Jim is saying is that he hasn't considered all of the good reasons why
CNAME's should never be used in the way he's advocating. To get it through IETF
in the first place he would need to overcome all of those reasons and not 
merely
most of them. If he thinks this newsgroup is difficult, wait till he tries 
to advocate
this in namedroppers, which is the IETF working group list.

Has he considered using DNAME instead?
