Now at last I have had time to read this...sorry for the late response.

Let me suggest first of all a change in the structure of the document.

For example, in section 2 where you talk about "message format", just talk 
about the message format. Query, Answer, Additional information etc. How these 
play in queries and responses. How EDNS0 fit into this. What header flags are 
and what they mean.

Then you go into resource record sets.

And then resource records.

That is for the DNS server side and you can move to the client side.

And if you define a term like "owner", then you should use it yourself and not 
say "label" as you do in definition of resource record type (or vice versa) :-)
