There was an earlier draft submission from me on x402 service discovery
- which I've circulated to some people in the x402 community (x402scan
adopted it in their discovery spec) but I allowed that to expire because
after that I started working on Intelligence-Over-DNS (IoDNS) which
would have subsumed it.
That's what got the conversation going with Elliot - Groundmark has a
similarly generalized scope at a different place in the chain.
Said differently, it became apparent to me that a draft spec for x402
specifically was probably too narrow, as there will likely be similar
mechanisms proposed that fulfill a similar function.
I never did submit IoDNS as a draft, but it's on the my github for
discussion's sake
https://github.com/markjr/Intelligence-over-DNS (I also note that the
reference URL is also incorrectly pointing at the easyDNS github in the
spec, which we'll also fix in the next revision).

No, our intent is not fixed on publishing through the Independent
Submission Stream. We submitted the current -00 as individual
Internet-Drafts, and are bringing the DNS-layer design to DNSOP
specifically to get WG review and guidance on the appropriate path.
If the WG believes the work belongs in DNSOP, we would be happy to
pursue that path, including WG adoption if there is interest and
consensus. If the WG thinks another path is more appropriate, we
would welcome that guidance as well.
The "Independent Submission" label in the current draft was an
artifact of earlier authoring/template work and should be treated as
a header mistake. We can correct it in the next revision.
Thanks for the above information.
According to Section 1 of draft-noss-jeftovic-groundmark-core-00, the
proposal is related to X402. There are other proposals related to
X402. A x402 Foundation is expected to be established. My guess is
that someone would have to talk to the appropriate contact at that end
to find out what to do about those proposals.
The DNS angle is quite straight-forward given that there is already 14
"TXT" registrations in the "Underscored and Globally Scoped DNS Node
Names" registry (RFC 8552). If I am not mistaken, the requests are
sent through IANA lately.
The DNSOP question could be about the TTL of "_agentclaim" records
(Section 4.2 of the draft).
Section 7 of the draft explains why DNSSEC validation is required.

S. Moonesamy
