That’s one of the goals of the document - saying: “it’s ok to not implement those RR Types, and it’s ok to break if you receive them"

Correct, and I was also seeking more feedback from the DNS people on that matter.

Currently, there are RR Types already marked as “OBSOLETE” in the IANA registry without clear understanding what that does really mean.  I guess the document might be able to specify what “OBSOLETE” means for RR Types (in the line of ^^^ “it’s ok to …”.)
