Comment (by jreed):

 It looks like the installed share/bind10/config_plugins/datasrc.spec
 defaults to enabling the static.zone.  We need to explain why to re-
 configure it and how to disable.

 I think the docs need to state what the static.zone is:

 BIND 10 provides a zone file for the CH (Chaos) class for providing
 information about the server
 via the AUTHORS.BIND and VERSION.BIND TXT records.

 I assume later could be used for other builtin CH.  So I even think the
 name "static.zone" is wrong.

 The examples are strange with:
 {{{
 config add data_sources/classes CH
 config commit
 config add data_sources/classes/CH
 }}}
 If that above is correct, then it is quite confusing. Why does one have a
 space and one has a slash?

 By the way, the static.zone file has a confusing comment suggestion to run
 in bindctl: loadzone CH BIND (which does not work).

 The dig examples assume localhost. Maybe mention that. And the prompt may
 be confusing since matches the prompt from previous example (Unix shell
 versus bindctl).

 I pushed one minor fix: 7915732b2210e5540a74041eb759b13af0f6c405
