If the Tor Browser has its own resolver that is used just by it and that is not a separate service installed with the expectation that other clients will use it, then it seems to me the built-in Tor resolver is part of the application, even if it happens to be built out of components that _could_ be a name resolution API or library in the general case. It is definitely my impression that (for instance) the Onion Browser installed on my iphone doesn't provide services to other applications, and has its very own resolution system as a result. That suggests to me that there's more than one way to do this, and one of those ways is for the application to be special. It's not the only way, though, I agree. Is your complaint that appelbaum-dnsop-onion reads to you as though such special applications are the only way to do this? If so, then you're right that it needs adjustment.
