I have no problem with this in spirit.  But I always wonder why the 
presentation formats, as in section 3.2 and 4.2, have MUST concerning how the 
record is "written."  I've never considered the presentation format to be 
subject to a standard...I realize that's just my opinion, but the on-the-wire 
format is what is subject to interoperability concerns.

The document can have the MUSTs but I'd prefer SHOULDs.  It's right that 
there's only one way these addresses ever get written, so the MUST seems 
logical, OTOH, it just seems over the top to demand it be written one way or 
another.  I certainly understand it is INTENDED to be written as documented, 
but is it a sin if I implement something else?  (How would an alternate form 
hinder interoperability.)

Apparently I am a little cranky today.
