If no requirement is needed, then no document is needed, because the policy realm was ceded to ICANN some years ago.

To my mind, this is a way of saying that anyone who has to live with broken implementations by people who half-understand the huge volume of DNS-related RFCs is just sweet out of luck. Too bad for them. Is that really what we want to say?
