Yes - but you're the one declaring that 1034 trumps decades of later work. Normally the assumption would be that work can be revised as bugs are found or conditions change over time, and that things that had achieved IETF consensus since 1034 was published would be considered at least equal, and often superior, to earlier work. I don't think 1034 was handed down from a mountain on stone tablets. I believe it always was inevitable that different apps would use DNS (or any shared naming facility) in slightly different ways. Yes this is somewhat confusing, but DNS (like the rest of the Internet) has been stretched far beyond its original design goals or scale. For instance, we don't interpret DNS names as hostnames any more - because in the modern world the concept of "host name" is irrelevant in the vast majority of cases. And maybe this provides an illustration of how difficult it is for us to use service protocols consistently from one application to another (it's not hard to find other examples). But such difficulty is real and it reflects genuine differences in requirements from one app to the next. Arguably 1034 didn't even address the needs of apps existing at that time (email being one of those apps), much less apps that came later.
