Hey,

I just scanned the draft and focused mainly on the DNS bits. The
described method for publishing encryption keys for SNI in DNS won't
allow use of wildcard domain names.
Relevant text in the draft:

   The name of each TXT record MUST match the name composed of _esni and
   the query domain name.  That is, if a client queries example.com, the
   ESNI TXT Resource Record might be:

   _esni.example.com. 60S IN TXT "..." "..."

The reason is that _esni.*.example.com. doesn't work as a wildcard. If
you want wildcards to work, new dedicated DNS record type will be
needed. I think it should be fairly easy to get a new type allocated
as this doesn't require special DNS processing.

Cheers,

Jan
