ACTION-100: Rewrite for 8.3.2

This action is actually wrong in tracker -- it's about 8.3.2.

Proposed text: "DNS is a hierarchical name space.  Name assignments
on upper layers of this name space are controlled by various policy
and business processes and often thought of as identifiers for
real-world entities; name assignments on the lower layers are
typically choosen freely and often thought of as identifiers for
individual hosts or services.  However, these intricacies are not
widely understood.  Studies show that users will interpret brand
names that occur on any level of a domain name as a signal that
allows them to assume some kind of reliable association between the
brand and the domain name. [Security Toolbars]"

(This also needs a normative reference to RFC 1034 and 1035.  And
no, it isn't perfect, yet.)
