thank you very much for updating the document. as stated in the
last call announcement we use it heavily in network troubleshooting,
so would really like to see it documented.
I would like to see IPv4 address query (Qtype=4) go away. also i don't
see a need for IPv4 mapped address (Qtype=3 C bit). it is a protocol
for IPv6, afterall (if IPv4 variant is needed, it should be defined
on IPv4, or the "name lookup" document has to become protocol-
independent).
Qtype 3 A bit handling is a little bit complicated. how about
moving the description to the top? (right after the first paragraph
of 6.3) without understanding A bit, readers cannot understand the
interpretation of other bits.
on page 3, text for NI query code 1 refers to "Supported Qtypes"
which is no longer there (Qtype=1). suggestion: remove text starting
from "as in ....".
