What I meant is roughly around the line of
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bortzmeyer-dprive-resolver-to-auth-01#section-2
.. e.g if you operate a resolver in strict mode, and DoT fails (connection
to port 853, fail to validate SPKI) while the name of the name server
indicates that DoT is supported. The resolver should fail.
In opportunistic mode, the resolver will fallback onto port 53. The
operator of the resolver will be setting the mode of operation.

Thanks,
Manu
