3.4.1. General remarks on mandatory fields
Uniqueness property: the tuple (rrname,rrtype,rdata) will always be
unique within one answer per server. While rrname and rrtype are
always individual JSON primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans or
null), rdata MAY be an array as defined in JSON [RFC4627]

Implementors of this draft MUST be able to deal with rdata being
