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.

The process is (has been) defined by the wg. The assignment is done by the 
Expert Review process, not the wg.

 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.

OK, can add mention in there, no problem.


BTW, the RFC 2119 reference could be normative.
