And what possible problems are you expecting with leaving
zone "com" { type delegation-only; };
zone "net" { type delegation-only; };
in the configuration?

They should be delegation-only in any case, shouldn't they?

        well, thats up to the zone admin. :)
        my concern is mostly along the lines of folks who will do things like:

        zone "waw.pl" { type delegation-only; };

        to random zones that they think -SHOULD- be delegation-only, regardless
        of what the zone admin specifies.
