I agree with Rob's proposed changes. Here is the modified text: "Mapping from IPv4 addresses to host names is conventionally done by issuing DNS queries for names of the form, "x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa." When used for link-local addresses, which have significance only on the local link, it is inappropriate to send such DNS queries beyond the local link. DNS clients MUST NOT send DNS queries for any name that falls within the "254.169.in-addr.arpa." domain. DNS recursive name servers receiving queries from non-compliant clients for names within the "254.169.in-addr.arpa." domain MUST by default return RCODE 3, authoritatively asserting that no such name exists in the Domain Name System."
