COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is Eric Vyncke's (pretty knowledgeable security expert) OPS DIR
review (you'll see that it's in line with Terry's DISCUSS point): 
Based on my operational experience, I have seen multiple DNSSEC packets
dropped by firewalls because they try to use EDNS0 rather than
fragmenting. Does your I-D also address this issue?

I am a little puzzled by the hand waving "we also assume that the path is
clear of "DNS interfering" crap-ware/middle-boxes, like stupid firewalls,
proxies, forwarders." (I would avoid the use of "stupid") This
restriction does not appear as realistic to me in the current
deployment.

In the wave of IPv6 deployment and IPv4 sunset, I would suggest that
examples (such as in 3.1.1) uses AAAA RR and not A.

It is a little unclear to me WHEN the host should run those test? At boot
time? At every network attach? When it resumes operation after a sleep
period? Or a periodic test (such as hourly) ? This could cause a
scalability problem in vast WiFi deployment.

I am also a little puzzled by another hand waving "The goal of this
document is to tie the above tests and aggregations to avoidance
practices; however the document does not specify exactly how to do that."
and later "Else return an useful error code" which will make
interoperation (API portability) complex.

With a little improvement for some unclear (to me) text, this document
could be useful. Especially if either the mitigation part is improved or
removed completely.

I hope the above will help to improve a very useful document
