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.
