I've seen a lot of RFCs marked as obsoleted.
When you see updated by about 20 more RFCs, and you start to click
through them, and see mostly they relate to DNSSEC etc, it can be a bit
of an impediment.
maybe an errata would be more visible for this kind of issue.
thanks for your patience!

The document I mentioned updates RFC 1034. That's how we do things in
the IETF!

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.,:

<letter> ::= any one of the 52 alphabetic characters A through Z

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.
