Neither is mandatory: both are optional. That is, we cannot force a resolver to 
give information about itself, nor can we force it to do something abnormal for 
a resolver (be authoritative for a new type of query or run a web server).

The name doesn't need to be in the config of the DNS part of the resolver: it 
would only appear in the TLS part, just as it does in every web server that 
supports TLS.

If a resolver of any type can't be configured to give the information here, it 
just won't.

I'm not sure how that would help if it can't be configured due to address 
issues.
