Right. The subdomain is actually a workaround for SRV RR. We can't
use the latter in browser based implementation and thus need to resort
to this hack.
Forgive my ignorance, but can someone explain, what "browser based
implementation" of WKD exists (or might exist) and/or why this is
desirable?
https://openpgpjs.org/ supports WKD. OpenPGP.js is used by many web
applications (see link). This is desirable to allow webmailers (and other web
applications that support OpenPGP) to lookup OpenPGP keys via WKD.
Ah, yes, I didn't see the possibility/need to have the keyring in the
browser (or no keyring at all) and receive keys from within the browser.
:-)
Thanks for the pointers!
And I assume, it's non-trivial or even impossible to start proper DNS
queries (for a SRV record) from within JS?
Because it seems to me, the root for this debate is in gnupg's "ab"use of
a subdomain for something which should actually be a SRV record. (Plus the
fact, that DNS wildcards and TLS wildcard certficates work differently.)
