The -sol draft mentions QNAME minimization without defining the term.
Is this about sending only as many labels as required to obtain a
delegation from an authoritative server?

There is another privacy-enhancing approach that is not mentioned in
the draft: defensive delegations.  For example, with current resolver
behavior, the lack of a delegation for 1.E164.ARPA means that queries
under that tree are sent to the E164.ARPA servers, which are scattered
around the globe.  With a delegation, the delegation would be cached
and queries could be kept locally in the region.
