Thanks for explaining this.  Please note that I personally agree with 
what you wrote.

My understanding is that the text in Section 3.4 is trying to say DNS 
messages over UDP.  There was some discussion about that (see 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg03088.html 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg03090.html 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg03109.html ).
