(resending this to the list, apologies Paul)

Thank you for writing this draft. Just two observations:

1. The absence of protocol agility bothers me - whilst I do not think the
use case described in this document lends to DoH in particular being
suitable, DoQUIC and not-yet-existent protocols could also be applicable.
Is there any reason besides simplicity you didn't consider using the ALPN
as identifier?

2. I disagree on the points around authentication and section 2 could be
updated to better encourage adopters to implement matching TLSA records for
the certificate they present during the TLS handshake - with a clear
statement that recursives are not required to query this record type before
TLS negotiation, nor explicitly fail if it mismatches.
