I'm happy to add strong language documenting the pitfalls of insecure
channels to the DNS over HTTP survey draft.
Just to be clear, this document is a descriptive document, intended to
be informational. It does not describe the details of any protocols,
and steers clear of BCP 14/RFC 2119 words that indicate requirements.
We (BII and Paul Vixie) are going to submit a separate draft with a
protocol specification covering the HTTP-over-DNS protocol that Paul
developed and we implemented an inter-operating proxy for. That SHALL
include requirements and SHALL use RFC 2119 language. There we SHOULD
consider TLS-secured sessions only. ;)
