Section 6.1.5 says:

Use QCLASS=* unnecessarily                     |6.1.2.2    | |x| | | |

It should say:

Use QCLASS=* unnecessarily                     |6.1.2.2    | | | |x| |

Notes:

In the summary for Section 6.1.2.2, the directive for "Use QCLASS=* unnecessarily" is marked as "SHOULD". This contradicts the guidance in Section 6.1.2.2 which states that QCLASS=* "SHOULD NOT be used unless the requestor is seeking data from more than one class."

The table entry should be updated to "SHOULD NOT" for consistency with the main text
