a cursory review raises these questions from a DNS protocol and operational
perspective:

1) We do have Dynamic Updates and EPP as "provisioning" protocols.
   Which deficiencies is this approach trying to address in particular?

2) The list of RR types is pretty arbitrary. Some RR type independence in
   the spirit of RFC 3597 would be urgently needed, making error "501"
   not occur.

3) How is the SOA serial increment initiated?

4) Interaction with DNSSEC needs to be described

5) What kind of intra-RRSet ordering is assumed in section 3?

6) Why would a user be allowed to add/modify/delete arbitrary RRSets?

NITS:
   o SRV RRs require domain names as targets , not IP addresses
   o The reference to RFC 1464 ngling - which is OK, since 1464 has no
     practical relevance
   o The draft is aiming at Standards Track, but references the Experimental
     RFC 5205 in a way that should be normative
