My problem with the draft is that it doesn't distinguish between hosts
with static addresses (configured manually or by DHCP) and hosts with
dynamic addresses.  rDNS for static addresses is easy, and these days
a lot of people use the existence of rDNS as a hint that an IPv6 host
has a static address and is intended to be a server.

The discussions of all the ways to kludge rDNS for dynamic hosts is
fine, perhaps with a clearer note at the beginning that you probably
don't want to bother.

R's,
John
