Any DNSvNext protocol MUST work in 100% of network situations where DNS
works or else it has 0% of being adopted.

There is only one difficult technical issue and that is developing a
protocol that is acceptable to the people who decide whether it goes in the
machines. At this point that requirement isn't even acknowledged by this
group.

What people think should be the basis for decision is irrelevant. If you
want to make the Internet more secure you have no choice but to work
through the gatekeepers and those gatekeepers care about performance and
reliability above all.

Google is currently working on HTTP over UDP to shave a second of page load
times. This group is working is proposing to move the most latency critical
interaction from UDP to TLS.

The disconnect is quite astonishing.
