I'm not exactly sure why we want to support
mycroft-jones.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
in the RIPE DNS tools... or maybe I am misunderstanding something now, but this whole apparatus is to automate delegation of *reverse* zones, and those usually don't consist of people's surnames.
and the zones do not consist of 120-127.42.66.in-addr.arpa either.
the hyphen syntax is a macro in a language that is not in the dns. therefor that it is not acceptable dns syntax is not relevant.
So what exactly would be the benefit of delegating all names from "mycroft" to "jones" with this mechanism?
