The only references to draft-andrews-soa-discovery appear to be in
this message.

There's older discussions in other messages about zero-no-soa-ttl and
its original basis in RFC 1035, apparently predating zone cut
discovery issues, but I'm curious what Mark's soa-discovery draft
described.

"Hmm," I just thought, "I wonder if the draft name had an error."
Yep.
