I think that the draft should apply to dns-01 only.

I don't think that http-01 challenges are meaningful in this context, and may
in fact be risk having one tenant of a multi-tenant domain (e.g. domains like
"wix.com"),  wind up with authorization for many things they shouldn't have.
(yes, for wix.com, this would probably require a second bug somewhere)

I guess I'm also confused by why a client would issue an order for a
sub-domain for a domain it has not received authorization.
Obviously, an attacker might do that, but why wouldn't the order just be 
rejected?

It seems like the client and server are expected to somehow guess where the
zone cuts are, rather than the client starting with that information in it's
configuration.
