Yes but before going to RFC details one should check the basic spelling and 
syntax first...

Well it actually goes back to RFC 1034.  Unfortunately it wasn’t enforced in 
nameservers at the beginning and is still not enforced by some servers.

3.6.2. Aliases and canonical names

...

The domain system provides such a feature using the canonical name
(CNAME) RR.  A CNAME RR identifies its owner name as an alias, and specifies 
the corresponding canonical name in the RDATA section of the RR.  If a CNAME RR 
is present at a node, no other data should be present; this ensures that the 
data for a canonical name and its aliases cannot be different.  This rule also 
insures that a cached CNAME can be used without checking with an authoritative 
server for other RR types.
