+         It provides global names through the concept of zone top-level
+         domains (zTLDs). As zones can be uniquely identified by their zone key
+         and are statistically unqiue, GNS names with a zTLD suffix are also
+         globally unique.
+       </li>
+       <li>
+         It provides memorable or "human-readable" names by enabling users to
+         configure local mappings from nicknames to zones.
+         Zone owners can publish their mappings
+         in order to enable namespace delegation and facilitate resolution of
+         memorable names.
+       </li>
+       <li>
+         It provides secure mapping from names to records as zone contents
+         are signed using blinded private keys and encrypted using derived

      <t>
        In GNS, any user can create and manage one or more zones
        (<xref target="zones"/>) as part of a zone master implementation.
-       Zones are uniquely identified by a zone key.
-       Zone contents are signed using blinded private keys and
-       encrypted using derived secret keys.
        The zone type determines the respective set of cryptographic operations
        and the wire formats for encrypted data, public keys and signatures.

        A zone can be populated with mappings from labels to resource records by
        its owner (<xref target="rrecords"/>).
        A label can be mapped to a delegation record which results in the
