I also think the text above could be improved: "wound up" is an ambiguous 
phrase, and the bare reference to 4159 does not make it obvious to readers that 
the name (and its use in the v6 reverse tree) has been deprecated unless the 
reader is in the habit of jumping for footnotes.

"IP6.INT was once used to provide reverse mapping for IPv6. IP6.INT was 
deprecated in [RFC4159] and the delegation removed from the INT zone in June 
2006. While it is possible that legacy software continues to send queries for 
names under the IP6.INT domain, this document does not specify that IP6.INT be 
considered a local zone."
