Hi Daniel,

I took a quick look at the draft.  The reference for RFC 7598 might 
be a typo [1].

Section 6.1.1:

   "Because of this, it is recommended that implementations make the root
    zone trust anchor obvious to the operator while still enabling
    configuration of general trust points."

The meaning of "obvious" in the above sentence might not be that obvious.


Section 6.2 discusses about a data store and references RFC 5011 as a 
requirement [2].  I read a comment [3] about RFC 5011 in which one of 
the assumptions of that RFC is mentioned: "The resolver has access to 
persistent writeable storage that will work across reboots".  I am 
not sure whether that is usually the case for unmanaged devices.

Section 8:

   "In order to anticipate the sunset of one of the signature scheme,
    a DNSSEC validator may willing to estimate the impact of deprecating
    one signature scheme."

The sentence is not clear.

As an overall comment, I suggest considering whether the audience is 
the average working group participant only.  If that is not the case, 
the draft could do with an editorial pass.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

1. I assume that it is RFC 7958.
2. The sentence actually makes a recommendation.
3.
