    -- The draft header indicates that this document updates RFC1034, 
    but the abstract doesn't seem to mention this, which it should.

    -- The draft header indicates that this document updates RFC1035, 
    but the abstract doesn't seem to mention this, which it should.


    Found 'SHOULD not' in this paragraph:
     
     It is important to note that returning a subset of available 
     RRSets when processing an ANY query is legitimate and consistent 
     with [RFC1035]; it can be argued that ANY does not always mean 
     ALL, as used in section  3.2.3 of [RFC1035].  The main difference 
     here is that the TC bit SHOULD not be set on the response 
     indicating that this is not a complete answer.
