Just a thought: It might be simpler to do S/MIME certificate discovery
using WebFinger than using DANE.  You would just have to do an HTTPS query
to a URI of the  form...

<
https://example.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=mailto:[email protected]&rel=certificate
>

... then parse a JSON object to find the certificate.  As opposed to having
an appropriately upgraded DNS library, being able to do DNSSEC, and parsing
the binary record format.

This process could still benefit from DANE, via TLSA validation on the
HTTPS connection.  And basically the only documentation you would need
would be to define the "certificate" relation type.

Like I said, just a thought.
