Want!

Some thoughts after a very quick read:

- It should probably mention what to do with CNAMES (my guess would be
return data until cname and let client requery with chain option for that)
- Depending on above, I don't think *infinite* chains are possible
(though prohibitively long ones are)
- Should there be a considerations section about timeouts?

BTW, I have a sneaking suspicion there also might be a bit of trickery
regarding keys of multiple where some chains are valid and some are not,
but I haven't got a specific example in my head yet.
