Yup. Still works.
In the MX record, the CPU is a standard NS formatted email address for the
administrator, and the OS is a URL which points to an IAFA-style meta-
information document.
MX preference can be used to point to more "appropriate" repositories,
and the actual mail exchanger record holds the content URL.
Note: Although you can boink our nameserver to play with this, none of
the listed URLs point to anything.
Trivial problem, technically. Hard problem, politically.
