I will be happy to fix contraventions of RFC1035, if there are any.

There is no architectural issue with increasing the line length parameter,
but line folding is still going to happen with long RRs.  Folds only occur
between RDATA elements, which in practical terms means that short elements
are grouped on a line and long elements occupy a whole line.  The end
result is remarkably insensitive to the line length parameter except in
those rare cases where there is a long sequence of short elements.
