That's a good point, thanks.  I was trying to stay away from "too much
detail" but I forgot my audience :-P

That's fair, as latency is actually "negative" when qname-min is
compared to normal DNS.  I don't have a category for "worse" yet.

Yes, and that's a bit harder to capture and likely agree upon.  My
experience of running the localroot.isi.edu service shows that it's not
hard to get working (as no one has said "it didn't work for me").  But
I'm not sure we'll all agree on the right balance there.  Anything that
requires more configuration *is* harder, but it's unclear whether it
actually means it's actually also easier because it works better since
you're never disconnected from the data.
