COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

My review of this document took me some time as I had to do a side my side read
with RFC5661. While not normally a bad way to implement 'updates' I found
myself lost more times than not. The complexity of the updates in this way
loses readability and technical coherence, even though a lot of thought and
effort has been invested in this work. I think that the loss of readability and
technical coherence should be avoided for many reasons if not based alone on
what we currently see in the set of documents which describes DNS. On this
document I am balloting ABSTAIN as I feel that there are better ways to handle
the depth breadth of this update, however I will not stand in the way of
publication.
