I've read the 03 version of the document.  I do *not* think this is
ready for publication since I still believe we should not abuse HINFO
for this purpose as I argued a year ago:
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg16118.html
(But other than that I think the document is quite well written).

As for renaming the file, I don't have a strong opinion, but we expect
a bigger issue like HINFO can lead to more revisions, it would be good
to rename it at this opportunity in order to avoid confusion for
future readers.

Some specific comments on the text:

- Section 3

   1.  A DNS responder can choose to select one or subset of RRSets at
       the QNAME.

  'one or subset of RRSets' sounds a bit awkward to me, partly because
  'a subset of RRSets' should include 'one of RRSets' and can thus be
  redundant, and partly because 'subset of RRSets" might sound related
  to 'subset of an RRSet' (it's actually "a subset of set of RRSets").
  So I'd suggest changing this one of the following:
  - "one or a few of RRSets (but not all of them)"
  - "one or a few of RRSets"
  - "a subset of RRSets"
  I personally prefer the first most although it may be too verbose.

- Section 4

   A DNS responder which receives an ANY query MAY decline to provide a
   conventional response, or MAY instead send a response with a single
   RRSet in the answer section.

  "a single RRSet" doesn't seem to be fully consistent of "one or
  subset of RRSets" stated in the preceding section (see the previous
  bullet).

- Section 4

   If the DNS query includes DO=1 and the QNAME corresponds to a zone
   that is known by the responder to be signed, a valid RRSIG for the
   RRSets in the answer (or authority if answer is empty) section MUST
   be returned.

  Does this also apply to a synthesized HINFO (if so, by dynamically
  signing it?)?

- Section 6

   In the case where a zone that contains HINFO RRSets is served from an
   authority server that does not provide conventional ANY responses.

  This may be just because of my English literacy, but on my first
  read it was quite confusing to me; I first thought the second 'that'
  was a relative pronoun, which would make this text an incomplete
  sentence.  If there was a comma after 'server' that would be more
  readable for me.

- Section 7: a minor typo, s/implimentations/implementations/

   not return all RRSIGS.  In the wild there are implimentations that
