Dr. Joe and all,

  I dislike using terrorism as a proxy for unrelated
legislation, but it is clear that voluntary cooperation
from .FR and .MX at least, is not forthcomming in respect
to proper DNS configuration, of course excluding anything
Stephane is doing at .FR.  Of course also as nic.fr doesn't
have a SPF record, which exposes folks to additional spam.
Not a DNS healthy thing.
