In this message, I'll talk only about this one,
draft-hallambaker-dnse-01.
 
Good idea to try to have a "requirments" document between the "privacy
considerations" document and the various "solution"
documents. However, I find that the requirments expressed in
draft-hallambaker-dnse are too general: for instance, "[R-C-ACTIVE]
Prevent or mitigate disclosure of request and response data against an
active attacker on every contact" is nice but seems very difficult to
achieve, and the draft does not mention the costs or the tradoffs
(except the last sentence of "security considerations").

Also, I find that a requirment is missing: "limiting, to the maximum
extent possible, the amount of data sent to forwarders or
authoritative name servers". The draft only mentions the risk of
profiling (so I assume a solution allowing anonymous clients would
address it). But the qnames themselves are information and sometimes
personal information and we want to limit every leak.
