I think we specifically said "delegation of the 'in-addr.arpa' and
'ip6.arpa' DNS trees" rather than "delegation of the ... domains"
or "delegation of the ... zones", because we wanted to refer to the
delegation of multiple subdomains within ip-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa, and
the term "tree" encompasses all the subdomains, no matter how many zones
are involved.  Perhaps it would be more clear to say "delegation of
subdomains below the IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA domains".
