[About -00]

Excellent idea, I strongly support the project.

I intend to use it to register 451 for DNS censorship
<https://labs.ripe.net/Members/stephane_bortzmeyer/dns-censorship-dns-lies-seen-by-atlas-probes>,
following RFC 7725. (I'm serious.)

> This document discusses extended *errors*, but it has been suggested

Why is it a bad idea? I would appreciate some elaboration.

> It can be included in any error response (SERVFAIL, NXDOMAIN,
> REFUSED, etc)

It can be argued that NODATA (pseudo rcode, I know) is an "error" as
well as NXDOMAIN...

> Usually attached to SERVFAIL messages.

This raises an interesting point. Should extended error codes be
limited to a specific rcode? For instance "Extended error code 100
MUST be used only with SERVFAIL"?
