Sure.  Context was lost in the thread as the message-ids are not
consistent. The text I think is being discussed is not actually in the
draft, it is proposed
text that Russ put forward on 1 Feb 2010.

   DNS SRV RRs, like all DNS RRs, have a time-to-live (TTL), after which
   the SRV record information is no longer valid.  As specified in
   [RFC1034], DNS RRs SHOULD be discarded after their TTL, and the DNS
   query repeated.  This applies to DNS SRV RRs for AFS as to any other
   DNS RR.  Any information derived from the DNS SRV RRs, such as
   preference ranks, MUST be discarded when the DNS SRV RR is expired.

How about:

How about "Consistent with [RFC1034]..."?

The problem I have with your text that it could be interpreted as merely descriptive of 1034, rather than as prescribing a requirement that applies to AFS SRV RR's regardless of how you choose to read 1034.
