I don't follow you - where's the user interaction?  To deploy DNSSEC, I
click a checkbox in my registrar's UI.  That's all.  Actually, here in
..cz you usually even need to make effort not to get DNSSEC.  Or do you
refer to the recursive resolver as "user"?

Not even stubs (like Firefox) should communicate with authoritatives, so
these still won't need to start caring about validating themselves, if
that's the direction you mean.

Not convinced by the relatively long (first-time) handshakes; I see no
other problem, and the overwhelming TLS deployment is a huge advantage
(libs, bugs, tools).  TLS just wasn't designed for sessions that only
need to transport 1kB.

Other options: I can't remember if DTLS can do a faster handshake
(probably not), but over longer term QUIC will surely have larger
deployment.  DoH would cover both TLS and QUIC, but the http layer seems
pointless here, and I can't see demand in this WG anyway.  A specialized
protocol might be even a better fit in terms of handshake and other
properties (say DNSCrypt, DNSCurve or even a new one), but I *suspect*
these paths wouldn't be worth it - another transport protocol just for
DNS privacy.
