BIND's nsupdate tool compresses owner names and names in the RDATA of RFC 1035 RR types. This is consistent with RFC 3597, which makes sense. I don't think RFC 2136 needs to forbid compression; it just needs to say that records (owner names and RDATA) are compared after they have been decompressed and the RDLENGTH adjusted to match.

Rough or very rough. Occasional rain. Moderate or good, occasionally poor.
