Referring to "bit 9" http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-header-flags,

#DNS Header Flags per [RFC1035]
#------------------------------
#In DNS query header there is a flag field in the
#second 16 bit word in query from bit 5 through
#bit 11 (RFC1035 section 4.1.1)
#
#
#bit 5 AA Authorative Answer [RFC1035]
#bit 6 TC Truncated Response [RFC1035]
#bit 7 RD Recursion Desired [RFC1035]
#bit 8 RA Recursion Allowed [RFC1035]
#bit 9 Reserved
#bit 10 AD Authentic Data [RFC4035]
#bit 11 CD Checking Disabled [RFC4035]

I admit that it doesn't say [IANA] there, but I can say this is where
the false memory got in my head:

From: http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters

#Domain System Operation Code:
#
#OpCode Name References
#------ ---- ----------
# 0 Query [RFC1035]
# 1 OpCode Retired (previously IQUERY - No further [RFC3425]
# assignment of this code available)
# 2 Status [RFC1035]
# 3 reserved [IANA]
....

With a reread, maybe the only "mistake" in the IANA registry is that
the "bit 9" should still read:

bit 9 Z Reserved [RFC1035]


And I need to reword out the "Z bit" because Z referred to 3 bits
"reserved for future use" in RFC 1035.
