I would be cautious about using DNS as an example for "modernizing" EPP. DNS is 
fundamentally a stateless protocol and therefore maps much more naturally onto 
HTTP-based transports.


JG-DoH was brought up since it matches the intent in defining an HTTP transport 
for an existing application protocol. DoH requires the server to support both 
the GET and POST HTTP methods for passing the encoded DNS query packets and 
returning the DNS query responses. HTTP is used as a pure transport with DoH 
and with EoH.


MW: yes, but the upper layer protocol (DNS) is a fundamentally different 
protocol, and due to its stateless nature more suitable for running over HTTP, 
you cannot use DoH as argument for EoH.

JG2-DoH was simply brought up to point to another example of an existing 
application protocol that has defined an HTTP transport, which is not REST and 
is out-of-scope for BCP 56.


[JS] That would be unfair to DoH. :) AFAICT, DoH took every care to be BCP 56 
compliant.
