8. Document Updates

RFC1034 and RFC1035 are to be treated as if the references to "sequence space arithmetic" therein are replaced by references to serial number arithmetic, as defined in this document.

9. Security Considerations

This document does not consider security.

It is not believed that anything in this document adds to any security issues that may exist with the DNS, nor does it do anything to lessen them.
