By the way, I've just read RFC 5706 "Guidelines for Considering
Operations and Management of New Protocols and Protocol Extensions"
and section 3.4 "Configuration management" is relevant for BIND 10,
with reminders such as:

   A mechanism to dump and restore configurations is a primitive
   operation needed by operators.  Standards for pulling and pushing
   configurations from/to devices are desirable.
