Technical Summary

This document specifies the use of NSEC/NSEC3 resource records to
allow  DNSSEC validating resolvers to generate negative answers within
a range, and positive answers from wildcards.  This increases
performance / decreases latency, decreases resource utilization on
both authoritative and recursive servers, and also increases privacy.
It may also help increase resilience to certain DoS attacks in some
circumstances.

Working Group Summary

Well reviewed by WG, nothing from the WG ML to suggest dissent.

Document Quality

Quality appears good.
