Point of order, please
It seems that WG co-chair has begun to use an email address that is
defaming Av8 Internet, Inc by returning business email to users of Av8
Internet claiming that Av8 Internet has hijacked some address space.
Av8 Internet hereby demands that the IETF immediately end this behavior
and halt the defamation of Av8 Internet, Inc by IETF representatives.
IETF representatives must use email addresses that are not configured for
defamation of Av8 Internet, Inc.

I think it is a good idea too, but I don't see why it needs an RFC. It is
purely administrative function in a nameserver to configure it not go give
out certain data to requests from, say, certain IP ranges. The issues of
'how it works' and what features, administrative syntax, etc seem to me to
be as proprietary as the server configuration file.
Indeed, it should be easy for some nameservers (powerDNS comes to mind)
to do this now. But it doesn't change the protocol, it just changes the
administration and operation of the server.
