In no specific order:

1. What class are they using?
1.1. Is that undefined?
1.2. Is it fixed to IN, or general for any class?
1.3. Can the use be expanded to other classes?
2. What resource record type are they using, and how are they using it?
2.1. Are they asking for a new RR type?
2.1.1. Is there a request form filled out (in an appendix)?
3. Do they use existing resource records?
3.2. Are they using TXT?
3.2.1. Do they understand TXT is a list of strings in RDATA?
3.2.2. Do they use prefix for selection of the records?
3.3. Are they using NAPTR?
3.3.1. Are they specifying a complete DDDS algorithm?
3.3.2. Are they specifying clearly the flags in use?
3.3.3. Do they accept non-terminal NAPTR?
4. Do they add "new" data to the DNS?
4.1. Do they clearly select what RRSet they want in the triple used in the query?
5. How to they "use the tree"?
5.1. Do they try to understand the hierarchy (where zone cuts are etc)?
