Hi Petr,
I have reviewed this draft.
A couple of minor editorial nits aside, I think it does a good job at
providing a solution to the problem it identifies.
[You might consider using "initiator" rather than "requestor",
incidentally; I think I first saw "initiator" and "responder" in one of
Vixie's drafts, and I like them to describe the actors that engage in a
single DNS transaction.]
People are (I think) used to seeing CNAMEs in the "forward" namespace.
People are apparently less familiar with them in the "v4 reverse"
namespace (or else you wouldn't have been motivated to write this
draft).
Since the core problem here is that people are not realising that there
really is no "forward" and "reverse" namespace (there's just a single
namespace plus some conventions) it seems slightly odd that this
document explicitly addresses the problem with reference to the
IN-ADDR.ARPA domain. The advice holds true for the whole namespace, so
why restrict it?
I realise the specification in section 4 doesn't specify that it's only
for use under the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain, but that's where the preamble
leads you, and the example given in the first paragraph is still an IPv4
reverse one.
In answer to the actual question you asked, I support adoption, and I'll
support adoption again when the chairs actually ask for it, at which
point I can review again if anybody wants me to :-)

Dear DNSOP Chairs,
I'm requesting a call for adoption of
draft-spacek-dnsop-update-clarif.
We did not have time allocated for discussing this in Prague but the
draft is
so short and easy (to quote Mark's words: "blatantly obvious") that I
do not
feel that postponing this till Yokohama is necessary.
Thank you.
