Having looked at this a few months ago when one of our partners was
(briefly) returning NOTIMP for ANY queries, I find myself wondering why
this isn't discussed in the draft?

The draft does talk about *new* RCODEs, but not existing ones.

My reading of RFC 1035 is that it would be a perfectly appropriate
response from a server that doesn't support ANY.

Unfortunately the retry semantics of DNS are not well specified and
therefore implementation differences may occur.  If as a result NOTIMP
is really not usable then IMHO this should also be documented.
