This is one of the things that puzzles me about the current discussion. The WG 
seems to be pushing TLS-based solutions and ignoring/dismissing other options. 
For instance RFC8806 or QNAME minimisation may well yield good enough privacy 
outcomes with fewer moving parts or operational impacts. We’d know these 
trade-offs if the WG was willing to do a threat model and/or risk analysis to 
provide more clarity about what problem(s) need solving.

We all want better privacy of course. For some definition of privacy. But what 
does that actually mean in the context of queries to authoritative servers at 
the root or TLDs? And is TLS the *only* game in town?
