My 0.02 is that the approach being followed by the openpgp draft (try something 
and see if it works) is very helpful for illustrating the utility of DANE.  It 
looks to me like there is a large contingent of the working group who have 
spoken up on list to support following this same path with SMIMEA.

I can’t quite follow this.  I think the SMIMEA draft has had numerous 
suggestions (from ideas to text to running code).  If it’s helpful, I can 
search the email archives and post some links to these discussions that were on 
list (not to mention the comments at various mics at various wg sessions). :)  
Was there some sort of other feedback that would be better?

One example:
  https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dane/current/msg06964.html

Irrespective of whether any given suggestion was incorporated by the editors, 
it seems like there has been a lot of suggested text and interest, imho.

I would agree with the ``good enough’’ sentiment, and I echo those who have 
spoken up on the list this week in saying we should let it rip so we can gain 
real implementation and deployment experience with the S/MIME deployment-base.  
It does seem to me that the sentiment on the list is overwhelming to push this 
forward (roughly 10 people in agreement with moving ahead with it), and I see 
very little pushing it back, right?
