Subject: [e2md] A matrix

If we accept there is a spectrum of use from 'public' to 'under publisher control' we can draw up a matrix of where current features possibly fit.   For this I am assuming standard DNS - so no source-uri and no private DNS

Determining an endpoint
	public: E2U + URI
	controlled: E2MD + key into private data

Unused/void
	public: E2U/E2MD + unused
	controlled: E2MD + key into private data (no entry in private data)

Subscriber info
	public: E2U/E2MD + CNAM
	controlled: ??

Send-n
	public: E2U/E2MD + send-n
	controlled: ??

From this some decisions follow:

1.  Is the general model acceptable?
2.  Is there a need for 'controlled' variants where missing (I guess many will say yes to subscriber info and few will say yes to send-n)?
3.  Does this imply a split in usage, whereby public data is in E2U and controlled in E2MD (e.g. for unused) or is that simplifying too much?

cheers
Jay
