Generally speaking, I believe it's fine to add assumptions about DNSSEC
validation, if that makes the ADoT protocol "better" in some way.  (and
I expect it will)  It seems that DNSSEC will be much easier than this
new stuff.


By the way, I'm personally not yet 100% convinced by TLS and might e.g.
add QUIC into consideration.  At least from protocol perspective, as I'm
not looking forward to adding yet another protocol to resolver
implementations.  Still, towards resolvers you almost always have very
few connections, so handshakes amortize easily; towards authoritatives
the situation is quite different, assuming we don't gravitate towards a
small number of huge CDNs (for DNS)... which would bring back arguments
from discussions around the privacy of securely tunneling all your
queries to one CDN. 

Note that in any case, connection-based protocols (and adding
complexity) will increase relative advantages of larger providers, but
I'd personally prefer to minimize this effect.  (Though perhaps that's
mainly due to not being affiliated with a large one.)
