  Let's say that I show up at your house with my laptop.
  I turn it on, to a RS, and see your RA. I now have FOO:MYMAC as my IP.
I want to update MYMAC.FOO.ip6.arpa. to PTR to marajade.dasblinkenled.org,
and perhaps I want to insert an IPSECKEY RR too.
(I already updated marajade.dasblinkenled.org IN AAAA to FOO:MYMAC. But,
I already have a trust relationship with the owner of
dasblinkenled.org..)

  That's the problem we are trying to solve.
  In v4 land, the update is done by the DHCP server, which has a trust
relationship with the owner of the IP address range it is handing out.
