Hi Mukund,

The document authors have discussed this and we feel the addition of this
paragraph in section 7 addresses the issue that you've raised:

   Note that AXFR [RFC5936] and IXFR [RFC1995] have the property that
   one query message might result in multiple response messages.
   Therefore, those protocols have their own specific ordering
   requirements.

Look reasonable?
