Hi, Paul:

In section 3:

   A paired DNS query and response is represented as an object.  Two
   optional members of this object are names "queryRecord" and
   "responseRecord", and each has a value that is an message object.
   This design was chosen (as compared to the more obvious array of two
   values) so that a paired DNS query and response could be
   differentiated from a stream of DNS messages whose length happens to
   be two.

Why do you call these fields "queryRecord" and "responseRecord"? It seems
to me that "queryMessage" and "responseMessage" would be more intuitive.

In section 7:

    This document has no effect on IANA registries.

Do you plan to register a media type for this format? There is some
precedent: the "application/dns" media type was registered for the
experimental format defined in RFC 2540 "Detached Domain Name System
(DNS) Information".

Nit: "Questing section" → "Question section"
