One thing that confuses me reading this is where (if any) is the "caching resolver" expected to reside. in section 2.2, last bullet it makes mention of an ISP resolver, but it's not clear whether that resolver is the same as the homenet resolver. if it's not that resolver, maybe it would be better to defer that discussion somehow? that is, say that it can happen, but defer how it might happen
until later.

nit: you should move the terminology section up at least one section.

I think this draft says that each homenet router can implement the naming functionality. how do they negotiate who is authoritative? If it's in another document, it might be nice to call that out.

I'm not groking why this requires the use of ULA's for v6. It doesn't seem to require that ipv4 use rfc 1918 addresses? why does the naming function care which address space an address is in?
what if i don't want to use ULA's?

In section 6, it says that request are sent to the local resolver which is either a caching resolver or a proxy. Does that imply that the caching resolver cannot be authoritative too? I don't think that's what you mean, but it's sort of confusing. Some ascii art might be helpful to show the
topology possibilities

thanks,

Mike

         Title           : Simple Homenet Naming and Service Discovery 
Architecture
         Authors         : Ted Lemon
                           Daniel Migault

        Date            : 2018-07-02

Abstract:
    This document describes how names are published and resolved on
    homenets, and how hosts are configured to use these names to discover
    services on homenets.  It presents the complete architecture, and
    describes a simple subset of that architecture that can be used in
    low-cost homenet routers.
