better still, let's deprecate these bit patterns altogether for OP=QUERY:
QTYPE=255
QCLASS=255
RA=1 AND RD=0
and let's also make explicit that TCP is not to be used unless UDP returns
TC or unless QTYPE=AXFR or unless UDP QTYPE=IXFR returned only one SOA.
none of these serve any nondiagnostic purpose, and they are all dangerous
to the stability of responders.
