Actually there is practical value in an alternative classes if only to make the type space effectively 32 bits and implicit with that is a alternative class hierarchy (delegation may exist in one that do not exist in the other and they may point to other servers). Who owns a name is a different question to what machines serve the <name,type,class> tuple and how do you reach those machines. There is absolutely no reason why the zones <name,IN> and <name,CLASS56> need to be served by the same machines. There is a argument for them both being under control of the same people.
