You reviewed an earlier draft-01 which had it as "dl". I changed it to 3PL,
made other reviewer changes/input, renumbered the draft to 00 and submitted
as so. Hopefully it will be announced today. The latest is:

Are you suggesting it be "dl=" again?

Yes, you suggested this for the draft.  But I think this is still open how
to best do this, if at all.  The barrier is DNS packet size limitations.
The worst case is a UDP Truncate response followed up by a TCP Stream query,
so 2 lookups.  It is better to recommend to always begin with a TCP request
to minimize the request?
