Exactly. However, with different attribute types the client can indicate its 
capabilities too
and can prioritize them (by adding attributes to the request in the order of 
client's preference).

I don't think it's really more complicated. I agree, that current solution is 
more bulky in case you want to 
convey all possible types of encrypted DNS, all sharing the same IP-addresses 
and authentication domain and 
not counting non-standard ports. In other use cases it's roughly the same in 
size.

Valery.
