I strongly agree with this position. I believe the working group should produce 
3 documents here:

1) This draft - the technical discussion of DNS-over-TLS: I believe this 
document is mature enough to move forward as a standalone document (possibly 
with some minor re-working of section 5, to further clarify the scope with 
respect to authentication and add other references?). As detailed in the 
implementation section it also has several implementations. 

2) The technical discussion of DNS-over-DTLS: I believe that document is still 
under active review and development.

3) I agree there should be a separate document to describe further details of 
'Authentication of DNS-over-(D)TLS connections’, and I am willing to work on 
that. 

I think this separation is the most pragmatic and flexible way to allowing the 
working group to deliver DNS Privacy in a timely fashion, without introducing 
unnecessary dependancies between the solutions.
