Thank you for sharing the Chrome use case. If you go through the draft
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-dnsop-structured-dns-error-15.txt,
you'll see that it is already aligned with this threat model. The safeguards
you mentioned, such as restricting arbitrary user-facing content are consistent
with the design and security considerations in the draft.
