[dns-operations] Is this valid edns0 query?

[Wessels, Duane]

Mohamed,

I'd say it is valid.

RFC 6891 says (section 6.1.2) that a client or server should simply ignore OPTION-CODE values
that it doesn't know about.  The request should be processed as though that funny option
code were not even there.
