Why is that different from the "addr" label in the summary line for A
records?  Presumably that's redundant as well, as A records have only an
address in them, just as PTR records have only a name in them.  Perhaps
other record types that have only one item should be cleaned up as well.

Done.

Probably a good idea.  Note that NBNS and DNS share some common code as
well, given that NBNS was DNS-influenced but isn't the same as DNS.
