2119 language is intended to describe requirements of standards-track documents. Informational documents cannot impose requirements.
Then I think we've just identified a reason why this document should be on the standards track.

Actually I think that what we need is a BCP that says that DNS is not intended, not designed, and SHOULD NOT be used for dissemination of any information that is not deemed acceptable for widespread public distribution.
The basically rules out every internal split horizon use of DNS in existence.

scope matters for this application just as it does for any zone you shouldn't be exposing to the outside world.
Neither the DNS protocol nor DNS implementations are designed to meet the security requirements of such applications, and DNS is too widely deployed to change that.
