The author is Lee Howard, who works for a large cable ISP.  Perhaps he
could just tell us what the motivation for the document is.

It also occurs to me that it'd be worth pointing out that contexts
matter.  For example, since my hosting provider doesn't handle v6 yet,
I have the usual tunneled /64 from HE.  They delegate the rDNS to me,
I configure servers with fixed addresses and fixed rDNS and it works
fine.  That's a reasonable scenario (with or without the tunnel) for
hosting customers.

R's,
John
