Delegation-centric zones return name server IP addresses that are exposed in 
subsequent recursive queries. The value proposition of encrypting those 
addresses in a DNS response has to be weighed against the server resource 
overhead of adding support for encryption, especially when there are data 
minimization techniques available that can reduce the amount of information 
disclosed without putting an operational burden on the authoritative name 
server. If a solution can be developed that works for all levels of the DNS 
hierarchy, fine, but I believe there's more value in a solution (or solutions) 
where the data can't be protected using minimization techniques and there's a 
greater likelihood of near-term experimentation.
