I would hope that documentation of the folklore existed prior to the 
DNAME RR RFC...;)  If there's no way to dig this up (IETF archives 
are generally useless when it comes to researching them), then 
reverse engineering the rationale is acceptable.

Either way, this document ought to support the assertions it makes - 
like why "X DNAME Y" does not redirect queries for X itself.
