Subject: [DNSOP] RFC 2181 - a pathway forward.

With the WG Chairs permission.

RFC 2181 is growing a both long in the tooth.  It is, by its own admission, a collection of eight distinct and independent ideas.  As such, it is difficult to work on one of 
those ideas without raising concerns about all of them.   With some coworkers, we split out each of the ideas in RFC 2181 and have created a standalone ID that has the 
EXACT text from RFC 2181.  What would be a very nice, administrative, step is to take each of these IDs and last call them, turning them into RFCs with the same status
as RFC 2181.  It will then be possible to declare RFC 2181 historic, and folks that then want to update/work on specifics can make changes against these new RFCs.
