I agree with "encrypted DNS" because that makes the meaning (DoH or DoT or X : 
X is some new way to encrypt DNS) clear when it is intended, and saying DoH/DoT 
when that is really intended (just those two and not any other encrypted 
version of DNS) isn't that burdensome. DoTH can be confused with some new 
specific protocol "DNS over T____ H____" since that's what the other Do* 
patterns indicate.

However, I think Do53 makes sense as it includes any use of DNS over port 53 
and fits the Do* pattern used by other DNS protocols. This would only become 
confusing in the event we end up introducing an encrypted DNS protocol that 
also operates over port 53 which seems incredibly unlikely.

Thanks,
Tommy

I still maintain that having descriptive terms should be preferable
over an abundance of abbreviations, particular in documents. In this
case, why not "classic DNS" or "traditional DNS"? Likewise, "encrypted
DNS" instead of DoTH.

Kind regards,
