    Rick, I think you are mixing two levels -- the protocol specification
    level, and the registry policy level. A registry may indeed have a
    policy that prevents multiple names for a nameserver IP address -- it
    may implement that check, and a number of others in its database, and those
    policies may be good things. But the question is whether they should
    be specified in the protocol.

    It might be reasonable for the RRP to have a notification mechanism that
    goes to the end user (though at this point it doesn't make sense to me
    to have such a thing -- seems to break the "RR" part of "RRP"), but it
    should be a general mechanism, and not tied to this specific policy
    issue.
