COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Thanks for this document.

Regarding:

3.4.  Updates to RFC8198

   [RFC8198] section 5.4 (Consideration on TTL) is completely replaced
   by the following text:

   |  The TTL value of negative information is especially important,
   |  because newly added domain names cannot be used while the negative
   |  information is effective.
   |
   |  Section 5 of [RFC2308] suggests a maximum default negative cache
   |  TTL value of 3 hours (10800).  It is RECOMMENDED that validating
   |  resolvers limit the maximum effective TTL value of negative
   |  responses (NSEC/NSEC3 RRs) to this same value.
   |
   |  A resolver that supports aggressive use of NSEC and NSEC3 MAY
   |  limit the TTL of NSEC and NSEC3 records to the lesser of the
   |  SOA.MINIMUM field and the TTL of the SOA in a response, if
   |  present.  It MAY also use a previously cached SOA for a zone to
   |  find these values.

I'm not a DNS expert, and this is just a non binding comment, but I was
wondering why it is only "MAY" limit the TTL on NSEC and NSEC3 records to the
lesser of the SOA.MINIMUM field and the TTL of the SOA in a response rather
than a "SHOULD".

Regards,
Rob
