Hey, thanks for the considered reply. I rustled up alternative language you might consider for section 3.1 paragraph 1:
"Name resolution APIs and libraries MUST recognize localhost names as special, and MUST always return a unicast address that cause the node to send an IP datagram to itself."
This deliberately echoes the language of RFC4291 and RFC6890 when defining loopbacks. Can I also suggest revising references, looks like RFC5735 has been obsoleted by RFC6890.
Overall I think this draft is a helpful clarification, thanks for creating it!
