(1) Section 1 (1.1) 1st paragraph a) The object of the first sentence lacks an article; "the" should be supplied. b) In a few places, the draft uses very terse forms of precise citations, which better should be expanded a bit for readability; the first occurrence of this is here as well: "(see [RFC1035] 4.2.1)" should say "(see [RFC1035], Section 4.2.1)" or even better "(see Section 4.2.1 of [RFC1035])" . Chosing the latter form, the corrections will accumulate to: | The original DNS standard limited UDP message size to 512 octets (see | [RFC1035] 4.2.1).
