False; and, more importantly, irrelevant.

RFC 1034 clearly prohibits your broken configurations. You admit this.
It's now obvious to everybody that you're talking about real protocol
changes, not ``clarifications.''

You want to change the protocol. Okay. Make an honest proposal in the
DNSEXT WG, and we'll discuss it. Don't try to slip it past us as part
of an ``AXFR clarification.''
