Well that part is wrong on a different principle, anyway.  The current
status is definitely parked, like WazoO sed.  What I tho't was in the
process of being changed is just the way the parking is done.  I tho't
it was being changed and 'shouldn't' be parked -- it may be being
changed behind the scenes, but it is definitely and officially parked,
in terms of the nameservice and 'parker'.

It isn't working presently.

Last week openrbl went thru a hiccup from which it recovered, but this
parking seems to be more consistent.
