Just a comment on section 2 (and a few others).

This draft discusses resource records such that as if only forward records 
existed.  Most of these problems are not seen in reverse zones due to the 
way delegations work.  I'm not keen on adding e.g. 10.0.0.0 reverses to a 
public nameservers, but IMO there's very little harm in doing so -- 
sometimes it even makes a little bit of sense.

Either the restrictions must be relaxed or more discussion added which 
applies to reverse zones too.
