The last statement is informatively and normatively mistaken.
The counterexample is to be found in RFC8490(5.4):

Not up to date. OK. Thanks. But, my statements are enough to deny
the original statement by Ted as if 1034 had admitted standard
queries with QDCOUNT>1 and another statement by Joe:

w.r.t. normative status of standard queries.

As Mark and I stated:

It does not prohibit extended query forms be they a different
QDCOUNT for QUERY, a new opcode which supports multiple queries. > Nor does it 
prohibit protocol extentions to allow standard

modifying 1034/5 is fine but possibility/existence of such
modifications can not be a supporting fact for a false
statement that 1034 had admitted standard queries with
QDCOUNT>1.
