It seems so. Instead of the erroneous NXDOMAIN, Akamain's
authoritative name servers apparently now reply with the correct
NOERROR for ENT (Empty Non-Terminals):

% dig @a9-64.akam.net A net.edgesuite.net

; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Debian <<>> @a9-64.akam.net A net.edgesuite.net

So, it is now compatible with RFC 7816 and RFC 8020.
