This version was done to address IESG
<http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-problem-statement/ballot/>
and Gen-ART comments. The comments which were *not* addressed are
mentioned here with explanations:

Enum is dead.

Depends. Anyway, "of interest" was relative to the secondary and
tertiary requests not to other sources of information.

[I-D.ietf-dnsop-dns-terminology] seems sufficient

It's a good text, well written, and right to the point. I have no
better reference.

> The same issue may come up wrt some of the other references.

See issue #7 <https://github.com/bortzmeyer/my-IETF-work/issues/7> I
was not able to find better references. (Personal rant: I prefer URLs
of personal Web pages, that I can find and read immediately, rather
than reference to a scientific symposium hold ten years ago and whose
speeches are not available publically.)

The vast majority of the introduction is about the DNS protocol so I
believe that the rest of the section would be very small.

We give the priority to drafts adopted by working groups, which is the
case for the two mentioned in the Security Considerations as possible
solutions.

This is the default behaviour of xml2rfc.
