I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. 
These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security 
area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these 
comments just like any other last call comments.

This informational draft describes the operational practices for 
administrating a DNSSEC environment.  Specifically the management of 
keys and signatures in DNS.  The draft intends to obsolete RFC 4641.

The security considerations section does exist and is somewhat terse in 
its explanation of mitigating spoofing and DoS attacks.  This should be 
expanded or at least a reference made.

General comments:

None.

Editorial comments:

Consistency: SEP is expanded, but not DS.

s/purposes X will somewhere/purposes, X will be somewhere/
s/such as e.g.  RFC 5011/e.g. RFC 5011/

Shawn.
