+This document is based on
+[Namecoin Domain Name Specification](https://wiki.namecoin.info/index.php?title=Domain_Name_Specification).
+It tries to follow it closely, and clarify parts that are not
+specified, or specified ambiguously, in the original document.
+
+One notable deviation is the specification of `"delegate"` and `"import"`
+attributes: domain objects to which their value point are
+replacing/merging to the domain object in which they are defined.
+This seems to be in line with at least one existing "real world"
+implementation.
+
+This specification is implemented by the `pdns-pipe-nmc` program.
