I consider it to be neither of those things. Compared to standard DNS
protocols it is very heavyweight, and is as elegant as a dancing bear.

In my opinion, it's just a new avenue for denial of service attacks.

And for any entity who is intentionally blocking, it is less than
trivial to block this, since they are probably already filtering http
traffic.
