I imagine a boiled-dry draft would leave this unspecified, allowing
implementations to be as lazy or eager as they want. I think this
enthusiasm to accurately reproduce all the crazy DNS tricks is doomed to
failure, and not actually necessary. If a domain owner really truly wants
to spread their domain with Brand X secret sauce they can get Brand X to
host it, and if they can live with a cheap 3rd party ANAME knock-off then
that can be done much more simply.
