Hi Paul,

Thank you for this, and I have understood the note that the draft is early
and the words will likely improve. 

It may be good to add a note that "DoH is the protocol as defined in
[RFC8484]. The operation of this protocol by browser vendors and cloud
providers is frequently also called 'DoH'. DoH-the-protocol is
therefore frequently conflated with DoH being used to perform
DNS lookups in a different fashion than configured by the network settings
(see DaT and DaO)."

Secondly, I understand the technical need for the wording of the definition
of DaO.  But I had to read this all a few times before I understood that
'DaO' includes what I've referred to as DoC (DNS over Cloud). I think
definitions should be easy to understand because otherwise they don't
function.

I'm also not too hot for conflating "user consciously changes
/etc/resolv.conf or equivalent" with "application makes the choice for the
user". 

Perhaps we should talk about 'Per-application stubs'? Because this is the
nub. 

I'm willing to write text once we have discussed this a bit.
