I think these are two different suggestions:

(1) Update the cookies spec to require QDCOUNT = 1 too

(2) Apply a definitive restriction on QDCOUNT for all future opcodes, imagined 
or otherwise. 

I would prefer (1) to happen in a different document if is to be done, since 
there are cookies-specific conservations to be discussed and I don't think it 
would make the current document clearer to go through them all here. There are 
also different operational considerations based on what currently does or 
doesn't happen in the wild. 

I'm not sure what I think about (2), at least partly because I'm always wary 
about predicting the future.
