I had already read that paper. The term "reasonable queries" appears exactly
once and even then it is not defined but states that "response sizes for
reasonable queries do not exceed the 512 octet limit". That's where we started.

The rest of your paper suggests that "reasonable" may mean a query pattern that
is found in real life at a (subset of the) root nameserver(s). At least that
would sound not unreasonable to me. But we're talking about a policy document
here - why does that use/have to use such fuzzy wording?
