Standard behaviour is to handle opaque types. You're speculating about the 
broad range of possibly non-standard behaviour and deciding that anything that 
is non-standard will exhibit one particular kind of behaviour. I think that's 
the opposite of what we would normally attribute to "non-standard".

I continue to think that taking a protocol (DNS) and deployed implementations 
(nameservers) that are designed to answer queries and trying to bolt on a 
backwards-compatible mechanism for carrying data that is not exposed by queries 
is just a recipe for data leakage. Any data that is really intended not to be 
disclosed cannot use a mechanism that is almost guaranteed to leak, which means 
that this proposed mechanism has no real use case.

I am not in favour of this proposal, which I think is camel abuse.
