please don't think this way, and don't do the right thing for the wrong reasons. the paragraph above is how the camel came to be -- one draft at a time, all well-meaning.
The front running alternative (ANAME) shifts the entire and far more considerable complexity entirely into the DNS, and affects both authoritative and recursive servers. Even then, I don't think it'll work properly with geo-locating CDNs nor with DNSSEC.
ANAME is less complex for the browsers (zero cost, even), but it's close to another whole hump's worth of complexity for The Camel.
I accept that the cost of the HTTP RR is not zero, but if it does succeed, that cost will be far far lower than any of the alternatives.
