axfr name compression

[Andrew Brown]

i'm just curious...i noticed this a while ago and only just now
remembered it enough to ask.

why is name compression not used on rdata in zone transfers?  this
makes any zone of more than about a dozen records larger in wire
format than the typical flat file form that bind uses.
