I think ldns really is not what we want; can you defer this for a week
and we could chat in person, also wtih brooks around, next week?

There is a wwaayy larger thing to the picture of resolver libraries,
exspecially validating once, which includes standardization,
acceptance, application support, etc. and I admit there should be a
summary of that on the wiki but isn't yet as some of the things only
very last-weekishly materialized for real for us.
