Sounds good to me.

Even better if we would clarify DNSSEC is not an optional part of DNS, but I don’t think you are volunteering for that discussion 😀

But it's three RFCs (4033, 4034, and 4035), and possibly another (6840). It would be awfully nice to refer to "DNSSEC" with a single reference like "BCP 250".

Maybe we could create a short-lived WG for moving DNSSEC to BCP that just the DNSSEC-y people need to pay attention to. If we do it, that WG would not take up any new DNSSEC-related work, just spruce up the base RFCs.
