So, what should the document say? The Node Requirements doc shouldn't
update RFC-3363, so that would be another issue.
3363 does say:
The issues for DNAME in the reverse mapping tree appears to be
closely tied to the need to use fragmented A6 in the main tree: if
one is necessary, so is the other, and if one isn't necessary, the
other isn't either. Therefore, in moving RFC 2874 to experimental,
the intent of this document is that use of DNAME RRs in the reverse
tree be deprecated.
How about:
"Those nodes are NOT RECOMMENDED to support the experimental A6
Resource Records [RFC-3363]. Usage of DNAME Reseource Records in
the reverse tree is deprecated."
