be any special query sent to recursives.  The response from recursives
could include the additional records called for by the EXTRA records cached
when the authoritative was queried.  I don't see anything about that being
prohibited in the draft... in fact I see no reason for ยง 6 if it was
prohibited.  There'd be no reason for recursives to ever receive the EXTRA
records themselves.
