I don't think I mean "multiple response" in the DNS sense.  What I mean by
"stapling" is "the ESNI RRTYPE has a defined format that can convey both
the ESNIKeys structure and some IP addresses".  This is all RFC
3597-compliant, and is a unified opaque blob to DNSSEC.

OK, to be precise, the stapling would be required of multi-CDN customers
_if_ they do not use CNAME, and instead maintain the various CDNs' A/AAAA
records in their own zone.  As I think you are noting, this is unusual;
most multi-CDN customers use CNAME, which (in this design) means that they
do not have to think about ESNI at all.
