Re: [dane] Call for Adoption: draft-hoffman-dane-smime.

In general, I support the idea of what this document is trying to do.  But there are a couple of problems with their concrete approach.  Without delving into a full review…  

-- The algorithm for domain names is really insufficient.  For example, I have the email address ceci.nest.pas.une.adresse@gmail.com -- how do the dots get encoded?  I realize that the DNS wire format allows labels to have dots, but good luck making most libraries make that query.

-- I don't really see why we need a new RR type here, beyond the cognitive dissonance caused by the three letters "TLS".

So I guess that's a vote in general favor, but maybe another rev wouldn't hurt.
