Comment(by jinmei):
 Replying to [comment:1 zhanglikun]:
 > Is there one RFC talking about case-sensitive compress mode. I have read
 RFC4343, and didn't find the word "MUST" to the use of case-sensitive
 compress mode for AXFR, or it's suggested in "DNS Zone Transfer Protocol
 (AXFR) draft-ietf-dnsext-axfr-clarify-14"?
 It's in axfr-clarify:
 {{{
    Hence, name compression in an AXFR message SHOULD be performed in a
    case-preserving manner, unlike how it is done for 'normal' DNS
    responses.  That is, although when comparing a domain name for
 }}}
 (in 3.4.  Name Compression)
 but my understanding is that this is a "clarification" document, and just
 reflects the common understanding of the original spec (RFC1034/1035).
 p.s. when you work on it, please don't forget writing tests first:-)
