Thus, we have a standards-track document that requires that every resolver on the planet is supposed to have special rules for this particular name. It is completely clear that, seven years later, many resolvers don't follow that SHOULD NOT rule. In fact, at at least one root server, .onion queries appear more often than many gTLDs and ccTLDs.
Sure. RFC 7686 didn't update STD 13, and so it's not surprosing that lots of resolvers don't implement RFC 7686 and therefore send such queries along to the DNS. This was not only predictable, but IIRC actually predicted when RFC 7686 was being discussed. I have no opinion about whether there should be a MUST NOT lookup in the DNS associated with the alt label in the document, but I do think it is necessary to remember that a resolver that doesn't claim to implement the resulting RFC will, quite predictably, not conform to the requirements of such an RFC.
