Okay. We can also make use of the various Modifed* operational attributes
to show when/who the changes were made, which will let people know if
there is some lag between the registration view and the DNS view.
I'll start looking at the attributes needed for this.
ps--I'm of the opinion that this information is absolutely necessary to
deployment. People will scream if a useless feature is no longer
available, which will hinder deployment, so I will give them the useless
feature. I just wanted to confirm that it is in fact useless.
