    Disagree. To some people, TTLs are operational, to others they are
    part of the master file format. For the latter, this sameness
    applies to the definition.


No, the zone file can contain different TTLs. As far as I know most implementations choose to reduce the TTLs for all RRs in an RRSet to the lowest value.


What I am saying is that whether the TTLs are the same (correct) or the
TTLs are different (incorrect), it doesn't change the definition of
RRset, which is the set of RRs with the same name/class/type.  Therefore
the requirement that the TTL be the same is not a useful statement for
the definitions doc, whether it's operational or standards-based.


I agree.
