Then merge Section 7 Practices to Avoid with Section 8 Functional Design
and leave out any (intended or not) judgement on what kind of DNS lying
is to be avoided or tolerated, as there is clearly no concensus on which
to avoid and which to tolerate.

And change the title from "Recommended Configuration and Use of DNS
Redirect" to something like "Recommended Configuration to limit harm of
DNS Redirect", and preface the document with a statement that all DNS
manipulation is error prone, disfunctional with DNSSEC, and better done
in other ways.

This "informational" is suggesting via the "recommended configuration" to be
a BCP document, not an informational.
