I am not sure what you think is unclear. Note that the definition of
the typedef domain-name is unchanged from the one in RFC 6021. Perhaps
you can make a concrete text change proposal so I better understand
what your concern is.
I read draft-ietf-netmod-rfc6021-bis-02. In Section 4:
"The domain-name type represents a DNS domain name. The
name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible."
That sounds like a MAY.
The text in RFC 6021 and the draft is clear. I don't think that the
fact that DNS-related text is already in RFC 6021 means that it is correct.
"Internationalized domain names MUST be encoded in punycode as described
in RFC 3492";
RFC 5891 discusses about IDNA-aware implementations. It also
discusses about A-labels and U-labels. The above text jumps directly
to punycode.
