NS record question

[Bill Manning]

% Even so, naive and beginning admins should be pointed at BIND9. This
% should save them from picking up the bad habits that BIND8 tolerates.

as should hardened cynical admins. 

(amen brother!)

... that said, could we PLEASE have better error checking?  I -hate-
having named-checkzone tell me I have an error in line 24833 (the last 
line of the zone file) when I've a single quote instead of a double quote 
on a TXT RR field in line 457.  Talk about your time consuming 
<search & destroy> analysis of the file in question to ID the offending 
line.  BIND lint anyone?
