Hey Jacob, thanks for flagging this! I'm also interested in getting this
draft moving again, and I'm willing to poke at it in whatever ways the
group's happy with.

The only open issue I know of is some discussion in the thread at
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg18690.html that I
need help synthesizing into the draft. I don't know enough about the
subtleties here to have a strong opinion, and I'm happy to accept the
consensus of the group.

Coincidental, I raised the draft again briefly with a few folks in Prague
(CC'd here), and I'm hoping for some feedback about reasonable next steps.
