Isn't "doing the minimum necessary to get the job done" pretty much the
definition of "optimization" (or, for that matter, "efficiency")? "Minimize"
means, basically, only "to make small"; whereas "optimization" or "efficiency"
means to reduce something, relative to something else, for a particular purpose
or to achieve a particular end.
_De_gustabis_. I don't have any strong preferences one way or the other, I just
think shortening QNAMEs is an odd way to _introduce_ what the proposal purports
to do. Once one comprehends the gist of the proposal, then it makes sense, but
for historical reference and information retrieval, one wants to choose a title
that most intuitively yet concisely describes what is/was proposed.

the term "query minimization" appeals to me since each server, during
iteration, sees the minimum substring of the qname needed.
