Niggle: in section 6.1

   The OPT RR MAY be placed anywhere within the additional data section.
   Only one OPT RR MAY be included within any DNS message.  If a message
                                                                 ^^^^^^^
   with more than one OPT RR is received, a FORMERR (RCODE=1) MUST be
   returned.

Surely "request" is meant in that last sentence rather than "message"?
A reply containing multiple OPTs is malformed, certainly, but that's not
not to say it should itself recursively generate a reply!
