Is this RFC 1464 that you speak of?

It makes sense when the attribute=value is a "subset" of the think you are querying, but you are using it twice which seems duplicative(?) to me.

IE: if the query was alterant.bbs.dege.au, it would seem logical to have sysop=deon, and os=linux and bbs=synchronet, etc, but if I was to query _sysop_alterant.bbs.dege.au, I would have thought it to be a better answer to just say "deon", since sysop is the attribute I want to get the answer to.

RFC8552 I think is written with this approach in mind. Anyway, no biggie, just providing feedback in case it might be useful.
