I agree these scenarios in particular need to be specified.

One possible solution would be an EDNS signal indicating whether or not the
secondary server implements BULK. If not, the primary would have to expand
the BULK data during transfer, same as BIND expands $GENERATE.  (I proposed
a similar sort of EDNS signaling mechanism in draft-hunt-note-rr-01 a few
years back.)
