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.

Indeed. Things have gotten way too far out of hand. Again, DNS was not engineered for this purpose, and the hacks that people have employed like split-horizon DNS do not and cannot fix the underlying problems.
