I'd agree.  A comment though:

I missed this earlier, but in 2. Motivations, third paragraph... between
-00 and -01 the phrase "a DNS operator MAY prefer not to send large ANY
responses" appeared.  Since that modifies the feelings of the operator, not
their actions, is that really an RFC 2119 "MAY"?  I'd suggest either
lower-casing the MAY, or change the sentence to something like:
"If a DNS operator prefers to reduce the potential for information leaks,
they MAY choose not to send large ANY responses."

Grammar nit:
§3, paragraph 4:  "This proposal specifies two different modes of behaviour
by DNS responders, for names that exists." should probably be "This
proposal specifies two different modes of behaviour by DNS responders for
names that exist." (drop the comma and make the tense of the verb agree)
