(Apologies for top-replying)

I think, from squinting at this a bit, that what is missing is some kind of
policy/service discovery, and coming to some kind of agreement (between
DNSOP and DOH, and any/all other interested parties) on what default
behavior should be (and under what conditions/circumstances), e.g. with
respect to opt-in vs opt-out.

E.g. If the local network operator is giving out addresses using DHCP or
the equivalent, then the presence/absence of DNS options in the answers,
should to some degree dictate (permitted) behavior.
And similarly, having some kind of DoH signaling incorporated in the DHCP
options, would be a sensible analogous mechanism.
E.g. "I will allow you to request DoH using providers X, Y, and Z, but
insist on being a MITM for those connections", or "Go ahead and do DoH to
any of these providers X, Y, Z, but no others", or "DoH is prohibited here,
use DNS", or "You can use DoT to these providers, DoH with me as MITM, or
this DNS resolver, but you can't run your own resolver".

Not sure what other mechanisms might be worth considering as alternatives
(dns-sd of some flavor)...

The mechanisms definitely to be a lot cleaner, more transparent, and
configurable, for both clients, network operators, and possibly DoT/DoH
operators.

(Did we learn nothing from the dial-up ISP early days, with mailing out
physical CD ROMs with phone numbers in lists and browsers included?)
