Very cool, but they haven't signed *all* of them. comcast.net still
isn't signed, nor are any of the reverse zones, nor is comcastonline.com
(in Comcast's SOAs).

You can probably quibble about whether the reverse zones are important,
but comcast.net is quite a significant miss. (Email, DNS, their "more
information links", etc.)

Still, I'm glad they're doing it, and hopefully reality will catch up
with their announcement soon. :-)
