and very welcome.

I think it would help, for completeness, and the better
to support the inexperienced reader of the DNS scriptures,
to include mention of RFC5936 (AXFR) in the "brief summary
of the guidance provided in the existing DNS specification"
contained in Appendix A.

Perhaps the following text, modelled on the existing mention
of DNS Cookies [RFC7873], would suit.

DNS Zone Transfer Protocol (AXFR) [RFC5936]
in Section 2.2 allows an authoritative server optionally
to send a response message (QR = 1) to a standard query
(OpCode = 0) with QDCOUNT = 0, in a message which is the
second or subsequent message of a multi-message response.

Thanks to the authors!
