* Olafur Gudmundsson:

> This document obsoletes RFC2671.  The big changes from RFC2671 are:
>   - explicit usage of RFC2119 terms and labeling EDNS0 support as MUST;
>   - discussion on payload sizes and selection;
>   - closing of the extended label types registry and classifying 	
>        bit-labels as Historic;
>   - cleanup of IANA actions (that did not take place when RFC2671
>       was issued).

I would like to see guidance to implementors how they can actually
detect EDNS0 support or the lack thereof.  Alternatively, a minimum
level of support could be made mandatory, eventually making the
existing detection logic obsolete.
