The DXCC rules (http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html) say:

"4. Confirmation data for two-way communications must include the call 
signs of both stations, the Entity name as shown in the DXCC List, mode, 
and date, time and band. Except as permitted in Rule 1, cross-mode 
contacts are not permitted for DXCC credits. Confirmations not containing 
all required information may be rejected."

No mention of RST so that's not a good enough reason for including it in a 
contest exchange (would speed DX pileups too! :-).
