Well this one seems to be addressed in the CHANGES file.  Entry 1025,
prior to the 8.2.3-T6B release says:

  1025.   [proto]         NOTIFY messages should have AA.

Not much to go on there.  Sounds like somebody didn't like the idea
of sending NOTIFY's if you aren't authoritative.  I don't know if
this is stated in an RFC somewhere or if it was a developer decision.
I think there may be a case for arguing this is unnecessarily
restrictive, though there might also be a case for arguing it's a
security issue or potential DOS.  The place to take it up is probably
bind-users.
