I fully agree with you that NSID (RFC 5001) is great and Google should really deploy it. However: > e.g. dig +nsid @8.8.8.8 I assume that Google wants also to be debuggable by people who work on inferior operating systems, and have no dig. Hence this trick. For instance, L.root-servers.net has both NSID and a special name, identity.l.root-servers.org (see RFC 7108).
