Notwithstanding an implementation apparently getting by in the DNSSD 
space, I remain convinced that QDCOUNT > 1 has no place in the global 
DNS and that RFC 1035's ambiguity on the matter needs clarification.

To that end, Joe Abley and I have written draft-bellis-dnsop-qdcount-is-one

<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bellis-dnsop-qdcount-is-one/>

We hope that this (short) draft can quickly gain WG acceptance and 
consensus.

I have also revived my ancient multi-qtypes draft (-00 was in 2012!)

<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-bellis-dnsext-multi-qtypes/>

If the QDCOUNT draft is accepted I would propose to simplify some of the 
text in the Multi-Qtypes draft to refer to the former instead of laying 
out the whole problem statement again.
