I'm fine with it as well. There will likely be few cases where multiple domain names appear in a single option - so the savings will be small.

Works for me.   In the cases where we're using domain names, it's unlikely 
we'd be able to compress more than the last label anyway, so we're only 
talking about three bytes of compression (e.g., with .com).
