Over on the dns-operations list, the issue of zone cuts has come up, and even normally-careful people have gotten it wrong. Is there a readable introduction to zone cuts and how they affect zone operators? If not, someone should really consider writing a two-page informational RFC on the subject and have it reviewed here (even if it is after this WG shuts down) before publication. I suspect that such an RFC will be more valuable to the Internet than many of the ones we have done here.
