the only change of significance is
2.7 Root servers MUST NOT answer AXFR, or other zone transfer,
queries from clients other than other root servers.
became
2.7 Root servers SHOULD NOT answer AXFR, or other zone transfer,
queries from clients other than other root servers. This
restriction is intended to, among other things, prevent
unnecessary load on the root servers as advice has been heard
such as "To avoid having a corruptable cache, make your server a
stealth secondary for the root zone." The root servers MAY put
the root zone up for ftp or other access on one or more less
critical servers.
