Dear Peter,

Thank you. We could use this to define sub-categories for the status of
various Domain Names, along the lines of:-

An Active (or Registered) Domain Name would be one with active nameservice.
An Inactive (or Unregistered) Domain Name would be one without active
nameservice, also known as a String.

An Active Domain Name also has sub-categories, for those that resolve to
websites (zones in use), and those that do not resolve (empty zones).

If the list becomes unmanageable, we want to develop a Flow Chart.

Regards,
Joanna
