Sure.

It doesn't really have to be this document, though -- thanks to Jim for
pointing out the RFC 7672 precedent.

That seems likely; I don't feel a particular need to introduce skew between

could recommend SRV-ID but still allow CN-ID (but this really is up to the
WG and it is not part of a Discuss point given the 7672 precedent).
