Good catch; fixed.

Section 3 says
The RD bit MAY be set to 0 or 1, although the meaning of it being set
to 1 is undefined for priming queries.

But a priming query is just a normal DNS query, so RD would be defined
normally, no?

It would be defined normally, yes. Section 4.1 says that a priming query should come back with an authoritative answer. Setting the RD bit to 1 could result in non-authoritative answers.

How does the WG feel about this? If the response to a priming query is non-authoritative, should the resolver reject it and try more queries? Or is it OK for a priming response to be non-authoritative?
