I think this document is a much better operational guideline than "don't publish private addresses in the DNS", which has generally been ignored. Rather than say: "should be resolved locally", I would prefer to say that anyone may set up a DNS server to be authoritative for these zones. That means that ISP DNS resolvers are licensed to become authoritative and squash requests to these zones. A number of people appear to have written drafts along these lines.
