Yep! 18 minutes and 0 seconds should be represented as 18 and 0, not 17 and 60. The 60 is out of range.

Some of the issues I reported and which are now in this milestone don't really affect our production (such as CDS record content validation, which we do through dnspython).

However, this is one out of two bugs relevant to us, and has caused us to disable LOC support, with some users now (surprisingly ...) waiting to be able to use it. Just wanted to let you know in case it makes a prio difference.
