Folks,
skimming over your most recent "Locally-served DNS Zones I-D",
draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones-11, I got stuck in section 5.

The 4th paragraph of that section in the draft says:

|  This document also ignores IP6.INT.  IP6.INT has been wound up with
|  only legacy resolvers now generating reverse queries under IP6.INT
|  [RFC4159].

I had some vague recollection that IP6.INT had gone out of service
quite some time ago, and started over to verify that.
A copy of the INT zone is no more made available online via FTP,
but I have checked all authoritative name servers for INT., and they
indeed all consistently respond with NXDOMAIN to any query for IP6.INT.

Recollection starts to leak after >4 years, and for an uninitiated
reader, the phrase "has been wound up" seems to be rather ambiguous.
I'd prefer the draft to state the facts more precisely so that the
conclusion drawn can be better understood.

Proposed strawman replacement for above clause:

|    This document also ignores IP6.INT, which initially hosted the IPv6
|    reverse DNS tree but does not exist any more, after it had been
|    demissed by [RFC4159].  IP6.INT has been wound up with only legacy
|    resolvers now generating reverse queries under IP6.INT.

Kind regards,
  Alfred.
