Oh. I was swapping the order to make the definitions of abbreviations

used in 4. I supposed that alphabetical is OK, it just requires more
rewrite of the text. (The current text _does_ need some revision.)

current text which requires a contractual relationship with a registry.
The replacement changes that to update priviledges of the zone file, and
authorization by ICANN. More text?
