Hi Ekr,

As Sara wrote, the spec had ALPN. The WG consensus during the IETF 108
meeting was very strong to take it out, including quite strong statements
from you along the lines that distinguishing between XoT and DOT was an
incorrect usage of ALPN.

I understand that the perspective changed since IETF108 (that WG discussion
was at the end of July 2020) and that communications were not wide enough
for us to know about it in March when the WG moved the draft to WGLC,
Directorates Review, and IETF LC
