...and the draft is looking really good now.

One of the main changes was suggested by Jinmei ("we might want to
follow the style of draft-ietf-dnsop-nxdomain-cut-04."), and resulted
in Section 6 - Benefits.

It's nice to have it there in one place.

I'd really appreciate a review of this section, especially the last 2
paragraphs (starting with):
"[ Editor note: There has been some discussion on if this document
   should discuss this attack and mitigation.  The authors think that
   this is useful / important, but some participants feel that it
   oversells the DoS mitigation benefit.  Please let us know if the
below is helpful. Also, the below description is not as clear as it
   could be - it's been tricky to balance readability, correctness and
   conciseness.  Text gratefully accepted... ]"

Discussions of DoS attacks and mitigations get bogged down quickly; see, for example, the past year or two in the IPsecME WG. It is safe to assume that if a method prevents a type of DoS attack, attackers will find another way to mount the attack. The current wording describes one type of attack, and how this helps mitigate it. That's sufficient: you don't need to say "and therefore you SHOULD use this method to avoid attacks".
