I'm open to merging this with DNS cookies. OTOH, there have been suggestions of 
adding a dependency on DNS cookies (instead of using the NONCE field) that I'm 
now not in favour of (which I'll address separately).

This was also proposed by Shane Kerr. He is planning on contributing a section 
to the draft towards this.

I'll be uploading another revision soon that uses SHA-256, and clarifies some 
more things that were learned during BIND implementation (e.g., TSIG).
