A few nits:

Section 1. "The maximum allowable size of a DNS Message is limited
to 512 bytes." Insert "transmitted over UDP without EDNS0".

"Many of DNS's protocol limits are too small for uses which are commom or
desired to become common." Is there more than just the UDP packet size?
Should it say "This limit is too small for uses which are commom or
desired to become common, and the cost of using TCP instead of UDP for
most requests is too high."

The last two sentences of paragraph 3 repeat paragraph 2.

Otherwise it looks OK to me.

Tony.
