[idn] Requirements: Removing unused portions



Sections 2.6 and 3 look like:

>2.6 Others
>
>The protocol may implement internationalised text in TXT resource records.
>
>--- need comments ---
>Must allow characters outside the currently-acceptable range
>for domain name parts in:
>- DNS queries
>- DNS RR response
>- DNS TXT records
>- DNS CNAME records
>- DNS PTR records
>---
>
>
>3. Specific Requirements
>
>3.1 Client Requirements
>
>3.2 Server Requirements
>
>3.3 Zone file Requirements

I propose that they both be removed. In the place of 2.6, a sentence should 
be added at the end of 2.5 (Operational Issues) that says "IDN may 
implement internationalized text in TXT records and other DNS queries and 
responses. This must be coordinated with the dnsext WG."
