Hello,

Which, of course, is the context in which draft-ietf-dnsop-nxdomain-cut 
uses QNAME.

I’m not here to argue which definition of QNAME is correct, but I do 
think the text could use some clarification to avoid this confusion. 
Easiest might be to point at 2308 as that definition is functionally 
identical to the longer texts the draft has now.

Kind regards,
