It does not prohibit extended query forms be they a different QDCOUNT for 
QUERY, a new
opcode which supports multiple queries.  If the server only support standard 
queries
for opcode QUERY and receives a request with QDCOUNT != 1 there are error codes 
in STD13
to indicate that the request is not understood.
