> 4) For IPv6 nodes, DNS MAY be included.

IMHO this is the correct option.  If apps require it then it will be
included regardless of what this document says.  And nothing stops apps
from implementing DNS themselves (i.e. linking in an appropriate library
which is available to the app developer whether or not it is available
on the node).

DNS is just an application protocol anyway.

Also, I think the purpose of this document is not so much to state what 
functions are required of a node by its own applications, since these will 
presumably drive the function of the node anyway.  I think it needs to state 
what node functions are required by other nodes, or by the network.
