I see that the TXT record does not carry any sort of distinguishing
identifier in front of the payload:
$ dig +short txt _esni.www.cloudflare.com
"/wHdTAKgACQAHQAgnkJCWxSqQ75Vaxti1Q/S2XEbZa49aRA5/wtNLK2yA38AAhMBAQQAAAAAXAGIsAAAAABcCXGwAAA="
Given widely deployed wildcard (mostly SPF) TXT records implementations
need to be prepared to ignore responses that are not well-formed
base64 encodings of the expected data structure. Perhaps a short
leading identifier such as "ESNI;" or similar would make it easier
to quickly reject non-ESNI RData.
For example, Rapid7's "mta-sts" survey dataset contains over a
million TXT records with owner name "_mta-sts.<domain-suffix>", but
only O(100) are actual "v=STSv1" MTA-STS TXT records, the rest are
largely SPF. So one can't rely on the "_esni" prefix to be an
effective indication of intent to provide an actual ESNI response.
