I don't know:-)  In any case, my comment on this was not to request a
particular change to the draft.  But I believe one with a decent
knowledge on DNS won't have to be particularly "clever" to have the
same question, you might want to add more discussion to answer (or at
least respond to) that question if we keep this topic in the draft.
It's up to you.
