To summarize my things:

1. Inconsistent SHOULD and MAY.
2. Get rid of RFC 2119 keywords for configuration recommendations.
3. Reference for "currently around 65% of queries to Root Name servers 
result in NXDOMAIN responses." (and replace currently with "at the time 
of writing")
4. The PR
5. Rewording sections 5.2 and 5.3 by either a repeating exercise (see 
suggested text, or cross-referencing (see Tony's mail).

I think points 2, 3, and 5 were not yet addressed.

Best regards,
   Matthijs
