Yes.

Yes. I started to write No but while checking the docs for the option
to revert to traditional behaviour I found that the current defaults
allow this. If you should run into problems with these take a look
at the options {} section of named.conf and in particular check-names.
The defaults are
check-names master fail;
check-names slave warn;
check-names response ignore;
meaning you can't use these names in your own zone files but will be
able to resolve them on broken networks. Seems like a good balance.
