As a DNSO.ORG Drafting Team member I'd have liked to see the Paris

There was no DNSO.ORG. It seized to exist end of December 1998 when it 
changed to the K*nt and Amadeu's playground.

I do agree. It's obivous we can't do it ourselves so they have to do it
for us.  Whether we like the result is a separate matter. Whether the
