Yes.

In Section 6.1.2:

  "OPTION-CODE
         Assigned by the Expert Review process as defined by the dnsext
         working group and the IESG."

It's odd to keep this defined by a working group which is being closed. Section 9.1 does not provide much information. One significant change in the draft is the inclusion of requirements for "middleboxes". It's not mentioned under in Appendix A.2.

BTW, the RFC 2119 reference could be normative.
