That sounds a lot like the TC flag.  I realize that some people have 
interpreted the TC flag to mean something else, but I think its actual 
meaning is pretty clear.

This would in effect be a version number.  Our experience with version 
numbers in old protocols has not been great.

I don't understand this.  Caches surely already know when a response is a 
referral.  If a referral response has TC set, in what way could that not 
be referral related?

Turning on bits that have been zero for 35 years doesn't have a great 
history of interop, either.  Look at the history of queries with EDNS0 
never getting a response.
