Ed,

I think this document is useful, and support it going forward.

We did some digging recently when documenting RRTypes for BIND 10.

For EID and NIMLOC, there is this document:

http://ana-3.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/nimrod/dns.txt

Which seems to be a -01 version of the draft listed in your document.
There are some differences in the text (for example it says "protocol
spec [[[ref to be supplied]]]" rather than "protocol [[[ref to be
supplied]]]"), but I don't know if these are meaningful. (Surely not for
such a vintage routing architecture.)

For the rest, you came up with the same references we did.

FWIW, our list of lower-priority RR types is here:

http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/RRTypes

We don't have all the ones you list, because I considered many of them
to be works in progress (CDS, URI, CAA, ...).
