Not as far as I know. I know of only one minor nit: bind 4.9.3b17
prints an extroneous warning message, which has been fixed since then.

People have been using this for some time already, it is just not
widely known which is why havard and I wrote it down.

Re-sending the (slightly updated) draft is long overdue. 
I'll try to fix that ASAP
