felt those two need to be republished with all
the updated text from the many updates (28 for 1035, 18 for 1034) in new
documents. This does not include any other
changes, and it feels like a thankless task.
not just thankless but useless. a correctness preserving rewrite, from
scratch, should be performed every few decades. (we're overdue.) a goal
should be readability which will require NOT reusing most of the
original text or including the updated text. we often didn't know or
otherwise misstated our implications. every material statement made by
any prior DNS specification or update to the specification should be
enumerated and checked off as its then-modern meaning is incorporated.
i'll offer to join a team to work on this when i eventually retire, if
it hasn't been recently enough done at that time. so, i think, should
other guilty parties.
