For the record, I've had a document need changes after IESG publication
approval that were then made with a WG LC for those changes rather than
a repeat of WG LC, IETF LC, and IESG review.

I'm surprised that this changes should require "bring[ing] the document
back into the working group" if by that you mean going through the full
process all over.  Though, to be sure, I don't object if that's the
required path now, but I don't want people to feel compelled to be
against this LC on account of the delay in publication being much
bigger, not if there's a shorter method.  (Also, I don't mind a delay
all that much: it's hardly that big a deal; RFCs often end up stuck in
AUTH48 for much much longer!)

I do not.

At least (B), and preferably (C).

My rationale for (B) is that this is the sort of thing where adding it
from the get-go will yield deployment where DANE is not mandatory for
the application whereas not adding it now will yield non-deployment of
DANE in such applications for a very long time.

My rationale for (C) is that (A) is trivial, so might as well throw it
in.  Mind you, (B) is also trivial (two bytes! to be conveyed however
you want, with 0 -> clear the pin to DANE).

Thanks,

Nico
