I’ll add this with a reference to section 3.5.1.1.2

Sure.

I don’t disagree that this a desirable feature but since the remit of the 
document is to describe the current situation, and this option is not available 
today AFAIK I’m not sure it should be included. I suggested to Ekr that text is 
added at the start of the second paragraph in this section that says:

"Such application-specific setting introduce new control points on the end user 
device for DNS resolution settings in addition to the historically used system 
settings.”

Would that address your concern?

I like this suggestion and agree it would make the document structure better - 
thank you, will update.
