Section 3.2 has the following: "It gives information about what the user does ("What are the MX records of example.net?" means he probably wants to send email to someone at example.net ..."  My question was about that DNS query.  Could you or the WG Chairs please explain why the question which I asked is out of scope for this draft?

Thanks to Brian for his explanation on this point which I agree with.

Ah, you were asking if there was a specific citation that could be included… No, not to my knowledge. 

Thanks for your response.
