Hi Duane.  Thank you.  7258 also talks about active attacks.  So
maybe it reads better to say: 

  Encryption provided by TLS eliminates opportunities for eavesdropping
  and on-path tampering with DNS queries in the network, such as
  discussed in RFC 7258.

Thanks for the pointer.  I guess my comment here is too late.
