Thanks. What you describe in the document certainly makes sense, but I
think is sort of orthogonal to this. If I were to state the fundamental
problem I am trying to address here, it is simply that the RFCs do not
authoritatively say what QDCOUNT > 1 means, nor how to do it, nor do they
authoritatively say that it is invalid. As a consequence of this, an
implementation started using QDCOUNT > 1. So we should do something about
that.

I think what you propose in your draft is exactly what should have been
done, but since we don't say "don't send multiple questions" anywhere, it
wasn't done that way. :)
