This looks like a useful addition. Here are a few comments and questions:

- Why is the draft informational and not standards track?

- Why does absence turn the feature on? Wouldn't this invite sending spurious 
requests for ACME information to CAs configured before this draft existed that 
do not support ACME? 

- Is a boolean the right type for discovery or should it be a string that 
indicates the protocol that is the target of auto-discovery?

- Do/ought parent domains apply (as they do in CAA)? If not, it might be worth 
a few words since the usage here is different.

- In the next to last example in 3.2, why does EV without priority go first?

- In 5.1, you might want to replace the long paragraph with bullets. 

- In 5.1, what does 3.b mean? Can you add an example?

- You should expand QWAC on first use and maybe add an informational reference.

Hi ACME!


This is new business that we would like to add to the agenda for 117.


Thanks,

Abstract:
A significant impediment to the widespread adoption of the Automated
Certificate Management Environment (ACME) [RFC8555] is that ACME
clients need to be pre-configured with the URL of the ACME server to
be used. This often leaves domain owners at the mercy of their
hosting provider as to which Certification Authorities (CAs) can be
used. This specification provides a mechanism to bootstrap ACME
client configuration from a domain's DNS CAA Resource Record
[RFC8659], thus giving control of which CA(s) to use back to the
domain owner.


Specifically, this document specifies two new extensions to the DNS
CAA Resource Record: the "discovery" and "priority" parameters.
Additionally, it registers the URI "/.well-known/acme" at which all
compliant ACME servers will host their ACME directory object. By
retrieving instructions for the ACME client from the authorized
CA(s), this mechanism allows for the domain owner to configure
multiple CAs in either load-balanced or fallback prioritizations
which improves user preferences and increases diversity in
certificate issuers.
