Perhaps the draft is missing something that I imagined to be there...

(pause while Brian reads the draft)

... OK, as a result of Dave's comments, we now say:

"  Section 11 of RFC 4007 is updated to allow "-" as well as "%" as the
   preceding delimiter of a ZoneID."

What we do *not* say is to recommend or suggest that all tools that
support RFC 4007 should be updated. Should we also add that?
