Do RFC8482 HINFO records break the DNS "add domain" delegation validation?

I need to add a domain delegated from another domain, but this domain has a HINFO record which blocks "ANY" record lookups from returning NS records that delegate the domain. Running dig with `+trace` follows the NS records and looking up the NS records with `dig -t NS` also works, but I get a zone validation error message in the web UI claiming the NS records to ns?.he.net are not there.

If the validation script is using `dig -t any` under the hood, can we please modernize to be RFC8482 friendly and do `dig -t NS` instead?
