Lars, thank you for the review.  

Some of your easier comments and suggestions have been addressed, but for some of them will require more thought and attention.  I am waiting to coordinate with my coauthor, and possibly the WG chairs.

How does this new paragraph look to you?

       <t>Note that a receiver is unable to differentiate between packets
       lost due to congestion and packets (fragments) intentionally
       dropped by firewalls or middleboxes.  Over network paths with
       non-trival amounts of packet loss, larger, fragmented DNS responses
       are more likely to never arrive and time out compared to smaller,
       unfragmented responses.  Clients might be misled into retrying
       queries with different EDNS(0) UDP packet size values for the
       wrong reason.</t>

Thanks, changed to primary and secondary.

These have all been accepted, except for the cases where we do intentionally refer to obsoleted RFCs.
