Depends on what one means by DNS transport I guess. I don't recall
whether the WG had chatted about that.

If e.g. DNS/UDP/IPsec is not an "encrypted DNS transport" then a SHOULD
is better. If DNS/UDP/IPsec is considered "encrypted DNS transport" it
looks like a MUST is fine, but I've not yet re-read this doc for the
telechat, and of course the WG may have had something else in mind.
