Yes. Lots of them *are* domain registrar and don't care
about about meeting the standard. They do anything to
reduce their costs. The don't care that some of the answers
being returned are wrong and are being rejected. They don't
care that programers have had to code around their lack of
conformance.
Domain parkers that do this are as bad as load balancer
vendors that only handle A queries.
