If the use case here is to be able to issue certificates for TLS servers based on the IP address instead of the domain name, creating something new in the DNS may be overkill. That is, why even have Section 4.1 of draft-ietf-acme-ip at all? What's wrong with only having direct HTTPS access?

Is web the only protocol that runs on the Internet now? I realise that might seem to be the case these days, but even so... :-)

For which other protocols did you want certificates with IP addresses as identifiers? If your list is longer than zero, are you willing to help Roland with a solution using DNS records for validation that has any chance of being usable? (No smiley here.)
