Would you prefer the addition of a "This practice MUST NOT be used" sentence for the worst practices? I think those would include "5.1.3.1. Renaming to External, Presumed Non-Existent Hosts", "5.1.3.3. Renaming to Non-Authoritative Hosts", and "5.1.4.1. Renaming to Pseudo-TLD".
Not sure if normative language with MUST NOT is allowed in BCP, but 
adding MUST NOT or SHOULD NOT will give for sure a clear valuable 
guidance that I would expect from this BCP.
> As to the explicit delete, I think the previous "observed in use" was an incorrect reading of a list email from Gavin Brown about observed practices. For explicit delete, we had in mind that a client would provide an explicit flag specifying that the client wants to delete any host objects belonging to another client ("They would be required to explicitly request deletion of these objects."). As far as we know, no one is currently operating with that practice. I will edit to try to make that clearer, which may make "5.2.2.1.3.1. Explicit Deletion Request" redundant.
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, the text should be clearer on this 
aspect.

Kind Regards,

Pawel
