yeah, paragraph 2 of that section is what I quoted as at odds with
1034/1035.
I've been reading this stuff all day....
Looks like 1034/1035 should be obsoleted.
Thankfully not many people nowadays need to write DNS resolvers.

Have you read the rest of the documents? E.g.,:

any one of the 52 alphabetic characters A through Z in upper case
and a through z in lower case <digit> ::= any one of the ten digits
0 through 9
if this was a BNF production only for hostnames, why call it <domain>,
<label> etc.
There's no other BNF for domain name in the spec.
