I've read it. Summary:

1) This is very useful and important. Padding is not so easy as it may
seems and, without specific guidance, developers may do strange
things.

2) The document is OK and should be moved forward. Most TODO in the
text can be dropped, as well as the question mark at the end :-)

3) It is important for reviewers to note that it is based on actual
measurements (dkg at NDSS 17
<https://www.internetsociety.org/events/ndss-symposium/ndss-symposium-2017/dns-privacy-workshop-2017-programme>),
not just a theoretical analysis.

Editorial:

* section 3: ENDS should be EDNS

* section 4.2: "Therefore, this policy is equally useless "No Padding"
option described above" should be "Therefore, this policy is equally
useless AS THE "No Padding" option described above", no? (disclaimer:
I don't speak english)
