Subject: AD review of RFC3597 to draft

This one is a bit of strange one. In reading interop3597 and skimming
3597, I have the following questions.

>    The following is a list, in alphabetic order, of implementations for
>    compliance of RFC 3597:
>
>        DNSJava 1.6.4
>        ISC BIND 8.4.5rc4
>        ISC BIND 9.3.0rc2
>        NSD 2.1.1
>        Net::DNS 0.47 patchlevel 1
>        Nominum ANS 2.2.1.0.d
>    These implementations covers the following functions (number of
>    implementations tested for each function in paranthesis):
>
>        Authoritative Name Servers (4)
>        Full Recursive Resolver (2)
>        Stub Resolver (4)
>        DNSSEC Zone Signers (2)

To be clear, what an interoperabilty report is supposed to show is
that there are multiple, genetically independent implementations of
each feature in the spec, and that the spec is clear enough that folks
were successfully able to intereoperate based on their readings of the
spec.

In reading the interop document, I'm not exactly clear what features
of the spec were tested and how that maps to (say) a section of
rfc3597. Second, I'm not sure that in cases where only 2
implementations where tested, that they are genetically different.

For example, for section 3 of 3597, how was this tested? Maybe it was,
but I don't see that clearly from the intereoperability report.

Finally, 3597 lists some normative references that are still at
proposed. A draft standard can't normatively refer to another
standard at lesser grade. So, for each of the references, it would be
good  to understand whether they are truly normative from our
perspective (I'm willing to be flexible here...) The references at
issue here are:

  [RFC2535]  Eastlake, D., "Domain Name System Security Extensions",
              RFC 2535, March 1999.

  [RFC2163]  Allocchio, C., "Using the Internet DNS to Distribute
              MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping (MCGAM)", RFC
              2163
, January 1998.

Mumble.
