s'funny that you should mention that - what with a hierarchical system.
I thought it would be neat if a downstream system could notify the upstream
about what realms it could deal with and - via a trusted and encrypted
channel - thus no more manually adding new records to higher tiers
for new realms dealt with.. much like advertising routing space via
BGP or OSPF

still. that'd be a new RFC for sure ! :-)
