Yes, I agree with that. Perhaps we could specify that a request for an RRSERIAL 
MUST only be satisfied for a response with AA=1, so that only servers that are 
able to provide an authoritative response to the original query will return it.

In contrast, I think there are probably use cases for a server that can't 
provide an authoritative response (e.g. a recursive server) to process a more 
generic multi-question query. So this seems like a reason to consider the two 
problem statements separately. I don't know exactly what use cases Petr had in 
mind for that though, so I'm guessing slightly.
