Right.  Since the registry doesn't know, if there are IP addresses
associated with the host object, one of two things happens:

    1.  The registry has a policy that the host object is not
    published in the zone unless it is linked.

    2.  The registry has a polict that the host object is published in
    the zone just in case it has an IP address associated with it.

IIRC, this is a metter of registry policy.

Best regards,
