It seems quite odd that a "clarification" would put 77% of the existing
servers out of compliance, and only brings into compliance a currently
non-compliant implementation.  I think it is unprecedented in the history
of any standards organization, not just the IETF.  Such a significant
change is clearly a completely new version.  Thus the widespread
complaints about fraudulent labeling and discription of the proposal.

Granted, it's only a BCP, but see RFC2505.  A large percentage of
implementations were non-conforming to THAT too - but the situation has
improved dramatically since then.  And note that there are more servers
for *THAT* protocol, from more vendors, than for DNS.
