Sorry, I guess I should have been clearer.  My suggestion was to fix 
some of the drivers where the domain can be determined, and for the 
rest, just mark the old function as deprecated.

If that's still a terrible idea, well, okay.  I'm just unsure that 
simply hard-coding a 0 for the domain for some drivers is really a 
solution.  Don't we really want all drivers to properly support all domains?
