A question about the "bind" "example" file provided by MacPorts

The bind example file:  "db.127.0.0.dist" differs slightly from the one which I have been using for many years now.

The example file contains:

           $ORIGIN localhost.
and
 			1D IN NS	@


Where as the file I have been using contains:

          $ORIGIN 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA.
and
          0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.       IN    NS  localhost.

The other difference is the apparently redundant , and to me contradictory  "1D" prefix where the SOA expiry time is set to "1W."

In other respects, the files are identical.
