Indeed, if something like the draft in question were to be published as an RFC (and as I've already argued, I think the names in there ought to be treated independently, but people of good will can disagree), the reservation would be exactly that result. The proposal to use a widespread configuration of RPZ to chip away at the legitimate answers from root name servers strikes me as a rather dangerous arrogation of control over the root zone and contrary to the observations in RFC 2826.
