While RFC 7129 is interesting for understanding the protocol, it is background 
material and maybe not really part of the protocol itself or an extension to 
the protocol itself. I'm not sure where it would fit into this document.

If

   The purpose is to introduce all of the RFCs in one place so
   that the reader can understand the many aspects of DNSSEC.

(taken from the abstract),

then including background material that helps understanding may be the right thing to do, 
perhaps in a separate section (e.g. "Additional non-normative documents" 
between Sections 3 and 4).

Otherwise, perhaps the purpose should be re-stated as to emphasize collecting 
only all pieces of the protocol specification.

I generally support this draft, and am willing to contribute review comments, 
perhaps editorial PRs etc.

Best,
Peter

Such a false sense of security is quite harmful to reduce
the end to end security of the Internet.

Thanks! That will be fixed in the next version.

Yes, great.

I'm the author, so I guess it goes without saying that I support its adoption. 
Given the higher level of scrutiny that BCPs garner, I will incorporate 
suggested text in versions of the draft if they are likely to reflect changes 
that would garner consensus.
