i see no purpose in change documents, which would add to the set of things a new implementer would have to know to read, and then to read.

rather, we should focus on a DNSOP document set that specifies a minimum subset of DNS which is considered by the operational community to be mandatory to implement. any implementer can remove anything else and still be checklist-compatible when customers are baking things off.

if someone wants to implement iquery or WKS let that be crazy rather than broken -- on-the-wire patterns still described, code points still reserved, but unlikely to find anybody to actually interoperate with.

    Again, from experience from dnsext, I would strongly suggest that

    finish line.

Does this include combining documents?  For example, it would probably
make sense to combine some of the clarifications documents into any
rewrite of 1034/1035.
