It seems to me that “the correct handling” of how an operating system or an application distinguishes what protocol to use for domain name lookup (other than DNS) is outside of the bailiwick of DNSOP or the IETF. Or are you suggesting the DNS protocol be modified to deal with such "a niche thing” to facilitate transition? (Honest question: e.g., one could imagine the root servers “knowing” about SUDN and doing special things when they see queries for (mostly, except for the root query obviously) non-DNS resolution protocols and DNSOP may be a good place for that discussion).
