Also, in case folks weren't aware, IETF RFCs are *intentionally* not
described as standards. They are designed to be subject to revision at
more or less any time. That's why they are titled as a "Request for
Comments" (or RFC). The fact that they are used as standards
documentation is sort of the nature of how things developed from an
era where it was impossible to publish standards for free
(organizations like the ISO require paying money for standards
documentation).

But this also has the consequence that IETF RFCs do not have a
requirement to be evaluated in the context of others and determined to
be fully satisfiable along others. That is, it's possible to have
mutually exclusive RFCs for a system that you have to implement.

So please keep that in mind when considering discussing DNS.
