The other day at ANRW, a paper was presented that compared performance of
DoH, DoT, and Do53. It was unclear to me what transport the authors had
used for their Do53 measaurements - and it makes a significant difference.
I don't know, even now, whether the comparison was apples-to-apples or not.

"Do53" is a handy abbreviation, but I'm concerned that using it as a
coequal peer of DoT and DoH will lead to fuzzy thinking.
