Which spec? This is exactly what RFC 1035, sections 5.1 and 5.3, say.
However, it will not work properly with older versions of BIND, because
between the AXFR and parsing of the zone the secondaries tend to 'forget'
the quote. And older versions of dig & friends won't be able to tell
whether a particular '.' is the label separator or part of a label.
