if I understand the option correctly, it would also change - on a large
scale - the relation between the NS RRSets in the delegating and the
delegated zone as well as the relation between additional (address)
data originating from glue vs authoritative sources.  This is
important for RFC 2181 credibility levels.  I'd rather not see a change
of this impact applied lightly.
