No, it's really not. It just explains the impact of using a CNAME record
versus an A record vis a vis canonicalization. You're reading too much
into it.
Besides, as I explained earlier, even if you were trying to follow the
spirit of the book, you'd want www.mydomain.com to canonicalize
to mydomain.com, and that would lead you to add
www.mydomain.com. IN CNAME mydomain.com.
not vice versa.
