That is a common misconception. Recursing resolvers couldn't care less
if they are written according to spec (unlike old BIND versions, for
example).

Well... way back when (18 months or so)...

bogosity while updating 8.2.2-P7 to 8.2.3:

(1) 8.2.3 Doesn't accept the "(" in the SOA string to be on the next line
    after the IN SOA. Our script-generated zonefiles, about 45000 of them,
    all had this.

Neither do the relevant RFC's, or any other DNS implementation.  Pre-8.2.3
was simply _wrong_ to accept that syntax.

If you want to be the *next* guy who gets bit for 45K zones when the *next*
next release starts enforcing something that was illegal-but-worked-mostly,
be my guest....
