         Title           : Delegation Revalidation by DNS Resolvers

Abstract:
    This document recommends improved DNS [RFC1034] [RFC1035] resolver
    behavior with respect to the processing of Name Server (NS) resource
    record sets (RRset) during iterative resolution.  When following a
    referral response from an authoritative server to a child zone, DNS
    resolvers should explicitly query the authoritative NS RRset at the
    apex of the child zone and cache this in preference to the NS RRset
    on the parent side of the zone cut.  Resolvers should also
    periodically revalidate the child delegation by re-quering the parent
    zone at the expiration of the TTL of the parent side NS RRset.


The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-ns-revalidation/

I wonder about this Datatracker line:

        Intended RFC status             (None)

What do authors plan, or WG leans to?


Speaking with my BIND hat on, I would prefer Informational.

Protocol in this draft is pretty complex, and so far the sky did not fall despite resolvers not implementing it.

Based on this observation I think it should not be mandatory, and also that parent-centric DNS resolver implementations should not be "outlawed" by this (to-be) RFC.
