I think I'll have to re-iterate my earlier point, from June 2004, now, 
because it was probably forgotten:

http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/msg02940.html

Have these changes been reviewed and/or adopted by DNSEXT WG?

We've produced a similar document like this one at v6ops, and the IESG 
stomped on it, because they wanted that the concerned WGs fix the 
problem, e.g., by new specifications, not that possible fixes are just 
described in an informational RFC -- check out 
draft-ietf-v6ops-v6onbydefault in the I-D tracker if interested.

That is, if a dnsop document is proposing protocol fixes, those fixes 
must actually get in the dnsext pipeline, and we must actually wait 
for those fixes to be finalized before going forward. (Or, then we 
just remove the recommended protocol fixes.)
