Thanks - not just for pointing out the issue, but also finding a
better version - as suggested, I am changing this (in a git branch
where I am collecting updates) to
https://knot-resolver.readthedocs..io/en/v5.0.1/modules-rfc7706..html -
I believe that stability is the most important attribute. AD, please
let us know if you disagree.

Oh, good point - once this is published, it does replace 7706 (it is a
bis, and contains all of the content from 7706), so Obsoletes is
better.
Thank you, changed.

Hmmmm... I think that we missed this because, within the DNS community
this is sufficiently well known that we don't even think about /
question it.
There is quite a lot of research on this, but much if it is behind
paywalls - while almost 20 years old now (Gods, I feel old!), I think
that the best one to cite is still:
https://www.caida.org/publications/papers/2001/DNSMeasRoot/dmr.pdf (
DNS Measurements at a Root Server ) -- I will add this.

Thanks! Done!

Seems like a good idea, thanks! I'm adding:
"Readers are expected to be familiar with <xref target="RFC8499"/>."

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
