The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to
consider the following document:
- 'xNAME RCODE and Status Bits Clarification'
  <draft-ietf-dnsext-xnamercode-00.txt> as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2012-02-06. Exceptionally, comments may be

From the Introduction Section:

  "This document clarifies, in the case of such redirected queries,
   how the RCODE and status bits correspond to the initial query
   cycle (where the (first) xNAME was detected) and subsequent or
   final query cycles."

From Section 2.1:

  "[RFC1035] states that the AA bit is to be set based on whether the
   server providing the answer with the first owner name in the answer
   section is authoritative.  This specification of the AA bit has not
   been changed.  This specification of the AA bit has not been changed."

And Section 2.2:

  "[RFC4035] unambiguously states that the AD bit is to be set in a DNS
   response header only if the DNSSEC enabled server believes all RRs in
   the answer and authority sections of that response to be authentic.
   This specification of the AD bit has not been changed."

It is not clear to me what is being clarified about the status bits.

In Section 3:

    "The RCODE in the ultimate DNS response
     MUST BE set based on the final query cycle leading to that
     response."

Shouldn't the "BE" be lowercased?

The status of the memo suggests sending comments to namedroppers@xxxxxxxxxxxx. Is that IETF mailing list still being used by DNSEXT?
