Thanks for saying this. Although this is very obvious to those in the DNS/ICANN space, it seems the authors of SVCB still haven’t acknowledged this. It is important as it is pretty fundamental to the solution space.

I understand the desire but I don’t agree as this signal is insecure, and foresee TLDs abusing this as potential nation state monitor / privacy leak. It is also dangerous when used via resolvers.

I still prefer something with DS than can be signed, and validated by the child as their intend via CDS. With transparency monitoring.

If we are using overloading, might as well overload securely.
