a sense of urgency was not intended.

if getting (S, G) from dns is not terribly useful, then kill the draft
that started this discussion.

my point was only that if one has a desire to get (S, G) from dns, there
are straightforward ways to accomplish that.

that's new to me, but i haven't been following very carefully either.
does anyone know the RFC?

if there's a need to get domain.name from (S, G), then i like the simplicity
of this suggestion.
