This is what is in the pending -03 draft in section 6.1.2:

                         applies to many other types of queries, and

                         software that processes DNS responses needs to

I haven't heard anything but support for adding that.

Nit: s/will/can/

More Nit:
It should probably say either "will produce a response…that is unlikely", 
or "can produce a response…that is not". The former states that the 
problem will occur frequently, the latter says nothing about the frequency, 
but readers may infer that the problem will be infrequent.
