Its okay to ignore "modern" features if they create bad edge cases.

    So are absolute domain names, but everyone is using relative domain specifications now, omitting the final dot. HTTP Transfer-Encoding also got specified, and then collectively mis-implemented. That its in the standard for decades doesnt mean it will be good when used.

      I can use absolute domain names just fine in the software I use.

      This doesn't make sense as an argument. Without TCP DNS, you're stuck with an untenably low limit for how much data can fit in a DNS response. Not having TCP DNS breaks DNS. It's not an aesthetic argument.
