Reviewed by Michael Patton, Gen-ART His review of -08: OK. I have enough other work that I'm not going to do a full re-review, but I went through my earlier review and checked all of the items I found then and they all seem to have been adequately addressed.

Section 3.2.2 makes use of MD5. While MD5 is probably fine for this
application, I strongly prefer SHA-1. I propose the replacement
of steps 4) and 5) with the following:
4) Compute an SHA-1 digest on the key as specified in [FIPS, SHA1];
the resulting value is 160 bits.
5) Use the least significant 40 bits as the Global ID.
[FIPS] Federal Information Processing Standards Publication
(FIPS PUB) 180-1, Secure Hash Standard, 17 April 1995.
[SHA1] D. Eastlake 3rd and P. Jones, US Secure Hash Algorithm 1
(SHA1), RFC 3174, September 2001.
Section 3.2.2 provides an algorithm, but not source code. I think
the title of the section should be changed.

Section 7 says that "AAAA and PTR records for locally assigned local IPv6 addresses are not recommended to be installed in the global DNS." Some text to explain why would be helpful.
