It doesn't have to be a protocol change. Strictly an implementation
change. It would break less than the current implementation change ya'll
made can break. Reguardless of if resolver functionality for application
support is included or not doesn't really matter. The ability to tell
the recursor to accept or not accept the wildcard records is functional
and doesn't care about delegation; strictly if the record returned
matched a wildcard set. It preforms the same service that the delegation
patches did except it won't break tld's like de.
