I think I said this in person but I don't know if I ever wrote it down.

I think that there may be some decreased privacy since queries for
these zones are going to be sent to basically anonymous servers instead
of root servers. Certainly for something like .ONION this is less
desirable.

OTOH, anyone using such a zone faces operator error causing such leaks
in any case. Indeed having these queries show up at the root is also
the result of DNS administrator misconfiguration. Also, any attacker
interested in looking at such queries has alternate ways of seeing such
traffic even today (via BGP tricks at least). The actual extra leakage
is minimal.

If the proposal does go forward (I really have no feeling whether it is
useful or not), then perhaps this can be mentioned in the "Possible
issues" section?

Cheers,
