Fixed.

We don't get to deprecate commonly-used terms in this document, unfortunately. 
In the -bis document, we might make a run at that, or at least in saying "if 
this term confuses you, use X instead".

Good call. Proposed addition:

Class independent: A resource record type whose syntax and semantics are the 
same for every DNS class. A resource record type that is not class independent 
has different meanings depending on the DNS class of the record, or the meaning 
is undefined for classes other than IN.

Good call. "A-label" and "U-label" are sometimes bandied about without 
reference to IDNA, so it would be good to at least add them to the "IDN" entry 
in this document.
