There is not one single approach followed currently in the IETF for tagging 
documents with updates. There are individual proposals out there (e.g., 
draft-kuehlewind-rswg-updates-tag), but discussing such proposals is not 
relevant to this list.

Now for the specific draft, are there any specific parts/text in the RFCs you 
listed that are ** modified ** by this document?

Please note that this document indirectly updates some of these RFCs as it 
updates rfc6895, which itself updates:

* rfc1183, which updates 1035/1034.
* rfc2845, which updates 1035

The current draft does not have OLD/NEW blocks of text, but it in fact does update behavior described by 1034/1035, 2136, 4033/4034/4035, 5155, 6672, and 6840 at very least. I mean - delext draft modifies basic rules for DNS auths, resolvers, and anything doing DNSSEC, so semantically all these were updated.

As an implementer/reader of the RFC stream, I very much _expect_ fundamental changes to protocol to be 'linked' via Updates tag. If you say there are no hard rules I would err to the side of adding all these to Updates field. I find it safer as it will alert readers (to the extend possible) that the old documents were affected.

RFC 6895 is titled '(DNS) IANA Considerations'. I find that inadequate as a (very indirect) method to alert reader that ground-breaking delext document updates all of RFCs mentioned the above. As an implementer I would not even read it - how numeric values are assigned when protocol is under development is irrelevant to implementation.

Internet-Draft draft-ietf-dnsop-delext-08.txt is now available.
It is
a work item of the Domain Name System Operations (DNSOP) WG of
the IETF.

     Title:   DNS Protocol Modifications for Delegation
Extensions
     Authors: Roy Arends

Abstract:

     The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol permits Delegation
Signer (DS)
     records at delegation points.  This document specifies
modifications
     to the DNS protocol to permit a range of Resource Record
types at
     delegation points.  These modifications are designed to
maintain
     compatibility with existing DNS resolution mechanisms and
provide a
     secure method for processing these records at delegation
points.

     This document updates RFC 6895.
I don't know what's the exact policy for this.

Given this document standardizes new referral semantics for auths
and resolvers I guess it should Update RFC 1034/1035?

New rules for signing and validation probably warrant Updates:
4033/4034/4035 too.

I wonder if that's enough or if it should list RFC 5155 - it
affects opt-out rules, but in any case, the validation
clarification in RFC 6840 section 4.1 is effectively also updated
by introduction of the new authoritative types on the parent side
of zone cut.

If anyone has pointers to process documents about this, please
follow them and provide your opinions.
