This update cleans up some of the text, and makes it clearer that this documents an *existing* protocol.
Ted Hardie also requested that we add: If we were just beginning to design this mechanism, and not documenting existing protocol, it is unlikely that we would have done things exactly this way. The IETF is actively working on enhancing DNS privacy [3], and the re-injection of metadata has been identified as a problematic design pattern [4]. As noted above, however, this document primarily describes existing behavior of a deployed method, to further the understanding of the Internet community. We encourage the deployment of means to allow users to make use of the opt-out provided. We also recommend that others avoid techniques that may introduce additional metadata in future work, as it may damage user trust. Which, after discussions with the chairs[0 and Ted], we have done.... W [0]: To make it flow better with the rest of the text, not because we disagree with the idea...

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
