Quite right Eric. My apologies everyone. Here follow the recent 
references:

NAPTR  stands for Naming Authority Pointer [1] and is a newer type of DNS 
record that supports regular expression based rewriting. Several NAPTR 
records can be chained together creating fairly sophisticated URI 
rewriting rules. A record can go through any number of rewrites before 
reaching a terminal condition.  -  this is actually much simpler than the 
example listed in Wikipedia would lead one to believe at first. Section 
13.3 (page 26) of the LSID specification [2] has a relatively 
straightforward explanation of how this can work.

DDDS or The Dynamic Delegation Discovery System [3] [4]  is used to 
implement lazy binding of strings to data, in order to support dynamically 
configured delegation systems. 

SRV or Service Record Service record [5] is a category of data in the 
Internet Domain Name System specifying information on available services. 

LSID or Life Science Identifier [6] -  for those who want to know what 
these really are and what they were created  for, please read this 
overview
