</span>Thinking about it, I think that it would be better to separate those two<br>
operations: on one hand, the listing of TXT records under a name, and on<br>
the other hand, the possibility to use Zone Delegation.<br>
<br>
For example, let us use the "_oa2" name (Openalias version 2) when we<br>
need to introduce an intermediate level, and "_oa2_keys" for key listing.<br>
<br>
Here is an example:<br>
<br>
_oa2_keys.sample 3600 IN TXT "btc ltc email fullname"<br>
_btc.sample 3600 IN TXT "bitcoinaddress"<br>
_ltc.sample 3600 IN TXT "litecoinaddress"<br>
_btc.sample 3600 IN TXT "otherbitcoinaddress"<br>
_email.sample 3600 IN TXT "<a href="mailto:john.smith@googlemail.com">john.smith@googlemail.com</a>"<br>
_fullname.sample 3600 IN TXT "John Smith"<br>
<br>
Zone Delegation: Let us assume <a href="http://example.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">example.com</a> wants to delegate all its<br>
Bitcoin aliases to Netki. We introduce an intermediate level, with the<br>
"_oa2" name. In the alias, this string is translated as "@"<br>
<br>
john._<a href="http://oa2.example.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">oa2.example.com</a> <-- will be looked up as <a href="mailto:john@example.com">john@example.com</a><br>
_btc.john._<a href="http://oa2.example.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">oa2.example.com</a> <-- bitcoin address of <a href="mailto:john@example.com">john@example.com</a><br>
