I would not summarize it this way. The main concern expressed during
the DNSOP meeting in Toronto was of debugging (people outside of your
organization do not see your "root name server" and so cannot help
debugging it). The draft does not propose a new "routing architecture"
besides the already mastered anycast routing.

Which is very different technically and, IMHO, less sound from an
architectural point of view (since it mixes resolvers and
authoritative servers).

This second draft is just the old idea of "slaving the root", under a
different name.
