 This is confusing at best.

 Another matter, piggybacked: it accepts it even if "address" is
 unspecified.  But without this the bind10 process cannot tell ddns
 a shutdown and needs to fall back to SIGTERM.  This is also not good.

 p.s. Frankly, I'm reluctant to fix each and every one of such peculiar
 thing one-by-one.  This seems to be a general issue of the
 config/bindctl framework.  If we have a clearer definition of which is
 default, which is mandatory, relationship "optional" vs "default" etc
 and provides generic framework based on it, this kind of thing should
 be automatically avoidable by the framework and the spec definition.
