I think the primary concern about that is the possibility
of introducing additional latency, given that we're trying
to minimize the DANE performance hit on clients like browsers,
who tend to be extremely sensitive to delay.  We probably
need clearer discussion about what we're trying to optimize
for.  But in either case, whether we're using a resolver
in a DNS library or handing it off to a service, encoding
the records in DNS wire format is going to be easiest for
implementers.  Several people have talked about writing
their own bare-bones resolver that does not use an entire
DNS library but I don't have any sense that that's going
to be a common case.  It's worth talking to people working
with highly constrained devices in any event.

Thanks,

Melinda
