As has been noted in many places over the past few decades, using the DNS for 
information deliver vs. information discover are very different things. Jakob 
and I have chosen to go with the standard assumption that the DNS is for 
information delivery, and other protocols (these days, mostly HTTP) can be used 
for information discovery.

If the DANE WG wants to change this, and the IETF at large agrees, we can 
certainly walk down that path, both with this document and with TLSA itself.
