Why do you say this?  There are at least two DNS server  
implementations that I know of that implement Microsoft compatible AD  
support.

There are several other servers than ISC's that support unknown RRs.   
In fact, I suspect Microsoft is one of the few (perhaps even only)  
current DNS server software implementers that still does not support  
unknown RRs in one way or another.

IMHO, not supporting unknown RRs at this day and age is a bug and it  
should be treated as such.
