I understand the draft should be resubmitted with the dispatch naming convention and will be very soon.

We emphasize that we seek work consistent with the goals of this previous work (and believe it to be a strong starting point), but the actual protocol specification is of course a matter of IETF consensus not pre-determined by that draft.

On-path network devices may spoof DNS responses, block DNS requests, track DNS activity, or just redirect DNS queries to different DNS servers that give less-than-honest answers.

Using secure HTTPS provides an alternative transport option and also provides a mechanism for obtaining and using DNS data in web browsers, both natively and in security contexts governed by the Same-Origin security policy.

This proposal should not be considered exclusive or competitive with the valuable mechcanisms of the drive WG.
