It's not "some parser".. for a long time implementations have assumed
64kB for message formats and these are implicit assumptions. It isn't
reasonable to alter this now. RFC 1035 is from 1987 and these implicit
assumptions have remained so for the last 30 years.

It is ok if you want to prepare different rules in 2018, but please
don't call it DNS.
