if we can amend the edns spec to require that for the XQID option, a reply
without XQID will cause the transaction to be repeated several times across
all of the zone's nameservers, with a different random UDP port and 16-bit
QID each time, then i will support the XQID proposal.  (this logic for
repeat-on-suspicion is more or less what we're recommending in 0x20, and
it's possible that if there are enough 0x20 bits available, then an XQID
could be made optional for that transaction.)
