As I think that I mentioned before, the current draft of DNS-over-HTTP
is poorly suited for JavaScript. Building and parsing DNS binary
messages in JavaScript seems like a really hard way to get at the few
tidbits of information that you actually want.

OTOH, I am (obviously) not a web developer, so perhaps I overestimate
the difficulty in working with DNS binary-format. Maybe it's a
relatively compact set of JavaScript functions that can be used?

Maybe I just found a project for the IETF Hackathon? Hm... :)

Cheers,
