draft-14:
   This specification relies on securely identified local DNS servers,
   and checks each local domain hint against a globally valid parent
   zone.

OLD:
   This specification expects that local DNS servers will be securely
   identified and that each local domain hint will be checked against a
   globally valid parent zone.

NEW:
  In this specification, network operators securely identify the local DNS
  servers, and clients check each local domain hint against a globally
  valid parent zone.
